A few callers called in to share their experiences with food and described the tastiest peach or apple or corn they had tried and how the bite of good tasting food reminded them of their childhood, something that has been hard to replicate in today's markets. One caller described this apple orchard that was cut down to build an elementary school...all but one tree was cut down, and he remembers this tree bearing the most delicious apples as he in his childhood would pick them in the schoolyard with other kids and eat the fruit.
From his description, Brian and I set out one Saturday to find this apple tree. After a bit of searching, we found the one, and picked an apple, although not easy to reach anymore, especially by school-aged children! Although not pruned or cared for, the tree really did produce delicious apples! They were SO good! We picked a bushel and brought them home to mix with other apples and make into some wonderful sauce! It became a family event.
Making the sauce reminded me that Calvin will be starting solids soon, and after checking my food storage, I realized we had better put up some more fruit. SO we did peaches too (along with green beans, tomatoes, corn, and zucchini)...
Up next...grape juice! Maybe?
