WILD RICE, SAUTEED APPLES & ONION WITH FRESH SAGE

Steps:

• Rice -- Cook the rice according to directions. I like to cook in chicken broth for extra flavor, but by all means, water will work just fine.
• Note: If entertaining, I replace 1/2 cup of the chicken broth with white wine to even give the dish more flavor, but for every day I don't. Also if you have kids you may or may not want to. That is up to you. The wine adds a great flavor to the dish however.
• Apples and Onions -- as the rice cooks which will take about 20-30 minutes heat up a small skillet on medium heat and melt the butter. Saute the onions and apples on medium for 5 minutes until soft but not over cooked. Add in the apple jelly, sage, salt and pepper.
• Mix -- When the rice is done, combine the rice with the apple mixture and it is ready to enjoy. If you want, garnish with a teaspoon of butter to mix in and even make the dish richer in flavor.
