Apples again
The Red Rome apples are on sale again. This time $1 for a 3 pound
bag. The best I had done before was $5 for 2 bags. I bought 7 bags and will start making more applesauce. About 1/2 the jelly I made earlier did not set. I made it without added pectin. Guess I will dump it into a pot and boil it some more. Now to start on the apples. Got interrupted and didn't send this. I just cut and cored 2 bags and they do not have much red in the flesh. Well, I'll just make regular applesauce and maybe some applebutter. -- Susan N. "Moral indignation is in most cases two percent moral, 48 percent indignation, and 50 percent envy."

Apples again
That is a great deal on apples. I think the best I've done is some
granny smiths last year that were 99¢ for a 3-pound bag. I think I only got 2 bags though as that is around the time that I got the H1N1 flu and was in bed for a week. I did finally make apple butter-- turned out delish. I think I still have some juice in the freezer. Last Friday, I was shopping with a friend and we got 5-pound bags of red, sweet grapefruits for $1.75 a bag. I might make some marmalade if work isn't too crazy this week. Anything that doesn't set at my house is re-purposed as pancake/waffle/ frozen yogurt syrup. Life is too short to re-cook... : - ] |

The Law Strain Red Romes that I get are grown in Asheville, NC or in the Brushy Mountains around Wilkesboro, NC. I don't think that that is an exhaustive list of sources.

My parents would put the box out in the shed in the back yard with an old quilt wrapped around the apples. They'd keep all winter that way. Such good apples. Everyone thinks of red delicious apples when they think of Washington State apples, but I've always found them to be rather bland and mealy. Romes have a nice bite. Plus, the ones my grandpa would bring were from an orchard where he knew the owner and the apples were not waxed like the ones in the supermarket. Now, though, I hardly ever see Romes in the stores. So many other varieties on the market now, the Fujis and Galas, etc. I'm going to keep my eye out this year in case the co-op gets any. Right now, the co-op is offering ground beef, 7% fat, for $2.30 a pound. I think that beats Costco. Sold in 5-lb increments. -- -Marilyn |
