I have loads of eating apples. The cookers have all been eaten. Is there anything they can be used for in cooking other than just eating raw?
I have also made loads of apple wine already
I use them in recipes for cooking apples, just cut the sugar back a bit. Apple jelly, chutney, crumble, sauce, cake etc. etc.
I use them for lots of savoury things - e.g. stewed for apple-sauce, to accompany meat (add a dash of vinegar, & salt and pepper). If I roast chicken or chicken legs in the oven, I chuck in some quartered onions and apples (peeled) and garlic, the flavours go really well. You might want to chuck the apples in a bit later though as they do cook very fast.
For stewed apple, or apple crumble, I just stew them without adding any sugar. It's also a great way to freeze them if you have a glut. You can also add a bit of apple sauce to stews.
Oh, and you can also use them in soups, like celery, or squash.
Tarte Tatin.
we get a glut of discovery every year, we stew them for puds, plus we have a press to make our own apple juice, which we freeze, too ;D
Having brought 6 carrier bags in yesterday I might have to invest in one of those!! :o
Oh &, of course, Apple Juice!
How do you do the apple juice?
wecut and clean the apples, freeze.. then defrost and press them, lovely stuff, 'specially if you cook some blackcurrants and seive them and mix..concentrated squash :)
We? Us? We use the Magimix spinner.
I always seem to get a glut of eating apples too. I was going to make green tomato chutney and use some in place of the cooking ones, which I would have to buy. Would I need to put some lemon juice with the apples to make them a bit tarter, more like cooking apples??? I have a juicer and do my apple juice that way. I made some apple and raspberry juice the other day. Put the raspberries in the blender though as juicing them does not seem to work well. I strained out the raspberry pips and some of the scummy stuff from the apple juice and bottled it. It was yummy.
