Apples

[poliphilo]

We have a good lot of apples this year. "Start picking them," says Matthew. "And it'll encourage the ones that are left to grow bigger."

So, apple pie for lunch.

Apples are wonderful. I'm currently overwhelmed with cherries, having spent Monday and Tuesday helping my uncle with the cherry harvest - so I have made pickles, jams, Rumtopf and whatnot of around 10 pounds of cherries yesterday and today. But... Give it another week and I'll be ready to start apple season!

My favourite apple dish is apple lardons. You fry your cubes of lard, then add sliced or diced apples to the frying pan and sautée them at low heat until they begin to disintegrate. It's wonderful when served on dark rye bread. (And I like to make these old-fashioned regional recipes. They will die out if nobody makes them, so I'll be everybody's grandmother!)
