Celebrate The Fall Apple Harvest: Make Applesauce & Cider
Fall and fresh crisp apples just go together. Orchards are brimming with crimson fruit. Across the country, festivals and sales are taking place as this is the time of year to stock up on apples in any shape or description.
At a loss for things to do with that bushel basket of goodness you just picked up at the Farmer's Market? Here are some great ideas:
- Make your own applesauce, nice and chunky with just the right amount of cinnamon to suit your taste.
- Arrange a fall harvest gift basket with apples and other late season specialties. You know there's someone in your neighborhood who would appreciate such a gift.
- Make some homemade apple cider, fresh squeezed is always the best.
I bet you didn't know that apples rank as one of the fruits least subjected to pesticides. Many orchards pride themselves in being totally organic avoiding pesticides completely. You might even try one of those fad diets by eating 3 apples a day. If 1 will keep the doctor away, maybe 3 will keep the bill collectors away too!
