What to make with 100s of small unripe apples. Massive branch just fell off an apple tree...

[WelliesAndPyjamas]

...and it seems like such a waste not to make something. Anyone got any easy-ish tasty recipes? Maybe pickling them? Jam? Chutney?

TIA

apple sauce?

boil apples, puree and add a little water and sugar if neccesary

good one - can I bottle that and keep for a while?

crab apple jelly is lovely.

yeah, i do! although apple sauce tends to only last a week here anyhow! dp and dd1 love it and smother it on anything or eat it straight from a jar!!

i started making it when i realised how much uneccassry rubbish was in tesco apple sauce! the ingrediant list was a mile long!!

keep it in air tight jar in the fridge!

apple sauce or a filling for an apple pie (with lots of sugar added!) or some apple and mint jelly, yum!

I freeze my apple sauce in cubes, then only have to take out as much as i need.

OMDB - love the idea of freezing it. And we're due to buy a freezer too.

have also got tons of strawberries in the garden at the mo - maybe strawberry and apple puree...

that sounds nice.

You can of course just fill containers with the strawberries and freeze them too.

LOL - my brain just read the post as 'what to do with 100s of urine samples'!!!!!!

stewed apple, strawberry and pear pie or just the fruit with cinnamon stirred through and sugar to taste. Yummy!

If a branch had just fallen off my apple tree I would have decided that the apples are too unripe for anything, even jelly making. Sorry. I normally work on the presumption that, particularly on a cooking apple, there is no chance of any worthwhile apples before the blackberries are ripe - and even then the blackberries often have a 2 week start before the apples start dropping...
