1 medium apple, chopped |
1 teaspoon rosemary |
1 1/2 teaspoons rubbed sage |

1/2 cup brandy |
1 cup chicken stock |
3 (15 ounce) cans great northern beans, drained (1/2c. liquid reserved) |
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes |
10 ounces lima beans |
3 tablespoons tomato paste |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Slice smoked sausage into small coins. Saute to brown and render the fat. Remove sausage, drain and set aside. Add garlic and scallions to the same pan and saute over medium heat in fat until softened. Add apple, rosemary, sage and savory. Stir well.
