Bushels of Apple from Prospect Hill Farm
Happy Fall! If you aren’t eating apples every day, you are missing out! Try all the different varieties in the greenmarkets. I find that the more different apples I throw in the pot, the better my apple sauce tastes. There’s an election metaphor in there somewhere, but let’s not go there, shall we?
