What have you done with your bumper crop of apples?

[xsquared]

Blatantly stealing ideas thread!

We've had a very generous crop of apples this year on our tree and so far we have; given bags and boxes of them away, made apple crumble, made Dorset apple traybake which is absolutely delicious, made French apple cake, made apple juice.

We are still drowning in them and there are plans for dh to make cider and I was thinking of making jam or chutney.

Can anyone recommend a tried and tested recipe for a good jam or chutney please?

What have you done to manage the abundance of this year's crop?

Thank you in advance.

I have eaten loads of them just as they are. And given lots away. And let the birds have far too many.

But also - many crumbles; apple sauce. Tomorrow I'm making a Dutch Apple cake with cinnamon, nuts and a cream cheese and caramelised apple topping.

Apple and chilli jelly, apple and date chutney, apple cheese, sausage apple and potato pie, slow cooked pork chops with apple, apple sauce/stewed apple to eat with breakfast cereal or pork dishes, crumbles, muffins, pies, apple Charlotte, apple, black pudding and potato hash.

River Cottage have a recipe called ‘Glutney’ which gives you basic quantities of vinegar/ sugar and spices according to your fruit and or veg of choice.

Stewed them all and put them in my porridge with cinnamon - yummy
