Apple season is here! It won’t stick around for long, so we have been forced to stretch our creative cooking muscles and make sure that all the apples, from all 4 trees are being used. Now this is a stretch for me, but fortunately Chris's cousin Eve was visiting from the UK and helped me with the project.
We managed to accomplish 3 apple "jobs". First was simply peeling and freezing 6 large bags of Braeburns. I will need to do at least another 10 bags as the tree is still full! Next was apple sauce. The smooth and crisp kind. No sugar, no spice!! Yummy! We chopped, we stewed, and then we churned out all the peel to make 6 pints of sauce. Can't wait to try out some pork recipes!!
My neighbour Sandy loaned me her dehydrator, so the next thing we did was make dried apples. This was fun!!! There were several stackable trays in the dehydrator, so we were able to do Braeburns, Liberties, Pippins and Delicious; some with cinnamon and some without.
These came out just the way we like them after 6 hours of drying. For sure I am going to do more of these. And perhaps invest in my own dehydrator!
Happy Applefest; Happy Apply Harvest; Until next year!!
