/ck/ - Food & Cooking

When I was a kid, we moved into an old farm house build in 1901. Amongst various other old time implements, we also had a single apple tree that had been there as long as the house, it seemed. When I was a kid, it still gave a rich harvest of these sour little fuckers.

What can I say, as eating apples they are certainly an acquired taste, but for cider and all sorts of cooking that call for apple, they are excellent. They stay months edible in cellar, too. For jamming, we brought white tramsparent from my grandparents' place, though.

Sadly, now this fully served tree has started to dry and I have still some years to wait before the new grafts will to give new antonovkas.
