Apples, and an alternative to Fruit Fresh
Written by Translator on August 15, 2008 – 7:37 pm -My neighbor, Preacher, kept my purple hulls and okra picked whilst I was in Arkansas. I returned the favor by taking him some of the peas cooked, and cherry tomatoes that he likes. He also brought me a five gallon pail full of knotty apples. I am not one to waste a gift, so I began processing them.
They were small, ugly, and full of imperfections. That is the best stock for jelly and butter. I washed them a bit at a time, and carefully cut out the bad spots. The very best, tart ones, I have reserved for a cobbler tomorrow, but the rest became stock for jelly and butter.
