The rain has swelled the apples in Sharon´s front garden. These apples grow on a small tree of unknown origin and although they don´t grow very big they are delicious.
We haven´t given the tree any fertilizer or sprayed it so the fruit counts as 100 per cent organic. The apples have to be shared with the birds and bugs but there are usually enough left for us to enjoy. With the heavy rain, many had fallen to the ground and when things dried up a bit we went out and scooped them up. Careful peeling and cutting was required but the end result was a pan of delicious stewed apples.
Delicious natural fruit doesn´t look like the perfect factory farm specimens in the supermarket but our apples are sweet and juicy. “I´m more than happy,” said Sharon as she tucked into a plate of the stewed apples with fat raisins.
