I have two apple trees full of fruit, but there is a foot of snow on the ground. Now that I have the time to do something with them, I don't know if I CAN do anything. Any recipe suggestions?
Try cooking a couple down to applesauce. If it works, get out there and gather the rest and start canning. Otherwise follow Aunt Bea's suggestion. After all deer have to eat also.
Actually, they should be OK for sauce and butter, or sliced up and frozen again. Pick a few and bring them inside to thaw, then taste. Apples can handle some cold without much damage, and it takes awhile for them to actually freeze.
