• Base -- In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the celery, onion and cook 3-4 minutes. Add in the apples and broth and cook until tender. It will take about 20 minutes on a medium low simmer, uncovered.
• Puree -- I used my immersion blender, but you can you can transfer it to a standard blender and puree until smooth.
• Season -- Add in the the sage, and a very small pinch of cloves, go easy ad season with black pepper. Cook another 10 minutes.
• Mascarpone -- Mix the mascarpone with the brandy, and return to the refrigerator. I mixed mine right in the container, save on those dirty dishes.
• Serve -- I like to serve with a fresh small sprig of sage and a dollop of the Brandied Mascarpone cheese. You can serve this hot, which I prefer, or chilled is also very good. And don't forget my Sweet Savory Bread Sticks.
