need to use some apples up so gonna make apple crumble , can i stew apples in their skins? )

Yes you can.
Stewed Apples

10 apples 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or 1/8, teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon
Cook sugar and water together until it boils.
Wash, pare, and cut apples into quarters, core, and slice quarters lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices; put apple slices into boiling syrup and cook slowly until tender. Remove slices of apple. Add lemon juice to syrup, boil a few minutes and serve over apples. Sprinkle with nutmeg if desired. Serves 10 to 12.

You may not need these quantities!!!

Anyone feeling creative? Pooky, you're good at making things.. look at the price of these :eek:

They're lovely!!! I can understand why they'd be that price too - there's an awful lot of sewing hours in one of those! Very fiddly to make. This is why I don't try and sell any of the stuff I make - the string of stockings I made at christmas costed out (based on minimum wage + materials) at £121 for 15 stockings...(didn't cost me anything as I already had everything and it was my own time - but you get the idea)

Does anyone know the address of that website where you put in what's in your kitchen cupboard and it tells you what you can make out of it?
