HOMEGROWN APPLES

Well what a bumper crop of apples we have had this year. We have a little apple tree in our garden that has 3 types of apples grafted onto it all edible and delicious, how apples should taste!!
We picked the tree up for a bargain price of 1 pound in the now defunct Woolworths, the tree has been in for about 6 years now and over the years the crop has got better.
We did have a problem with ants, but a friend who lives in kefalonia give us a tip ..... paint the trunk of the tree white (when my dad did this i thought he had cracked up!),but it has worked.
So with any apples that have fallen we have been freezing them down to use in pies etc, but i have been shown how to do a quick and easy apple juice so when your making apple pies etc here's what to do with the peeling and cores put them into a pan with water and a little sugar boil for about 10 Min's and then strain and leave to cool and then drink or bottle it up and keep in the fridge, this will last for a few days.
