  • if i see another apple i think i might scream....

    however, i cant bring myself to compost them.......and people just keep giving me them. currently i have 2 huge bucket fulls of them - mainly windfalls so i dont know what is eating or cooking.

    i have made every jelly i can think of:
    • apple chilli jelly
    • apple and ginger jelly
    • apple cinnamon jelly
    • apple and bramble jelly


    lots of them are quite small so peeling really isnt an option.

    any other ideas?

        Why not make some apple sauce and freeze it?

              All my chutneys have a good percentage of apple in them, glutney, green tom chutney, apple chutney (obviously!) etc

              PS - am jealous about your apples

              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                  make some apple wine? Even if you don't drink it yourself you can give a bottle to the generous people who thought you'd like their apples

                      slice the apples up and cook them ever so slightly, then freeze. perfect for crumbles and pies and im sure freezing this way you could also use them for jelly/chutney in the future

                            Have you got a juicer ? I've been juicing and freezing those apples that are too small to bother peeling.
