Almost Self-Reliant
I only like Golden Delicious apples, and one other golden type apple, but I don't remember the name. We purchased a standard Golden Delicious apple tree two years ago.I picked some of those 2-3 inch diameter apples that grow by the drive. Usually we don't bother with them other than as chicken food. They taste about like a golden delicious without being mealy. Usually occasional worm since we don't spray. I cut out any bad spots, quartered, and cored. Simmered until soft. Ran through food mill to remove peel and make consistent texture.
Made a thick sauce that isn't half bad. I canned it up for later. Glad to find a good use for those.
On another note, Mom is super jealous of the chickens and their zucchini diet. I'm going to have to shred some up and freeze for her.
