I have a small [eating] apple tree. My friend has a massive [cooking] apple tree. Far too many fruit for her and her family.
She said - please have some, Ang. I said my peeling machine would make short work of them. Your What??
I explained my gadget is like an apple lathe, it takes off a sliver of peel, and cores and slices the fruit. After 10 minutes I had a bowlful
And then I blanched, cooled and froze 3 boxes full, ready for autumn pies and crumbles. Next week I'm lending her the peeler. So easy, such a time saver, and minimal debris
To blanch or not to blanch…? With apples we have found it is not necessary. We set the slices on baking trays in the freezer before bagging up so they remain frozen loose.
ReplyDeleteThank you, that tip is a real timesaver, Philip.
