Apple pie

I was given some more apples this week from a friend. I shared some of my plums and plum jam for quite a lot of apples, about three bags of them.

I’ve been able to cut some up to freeze them uncooked, to make some apple pie or tarte tatin another time. I’ve also made some plum and apple jam, which is a gorgeous red colour. Hilda, my mother in law, gave me this idea. The apples give it a tartness, which I love and also some structure. I used equal quantities of plum to apples.

I’ve also cooked some apples down and frozen them, ready for some winter apple crumbles.

The last thing I’d like to make is some apple jelly, which I shall try and do tomorrow. It’s not something I’ve done before, so we’ll have to see how it turns out.
