Aunt Biddie Kitchen s If there’s one thing that pains Aunt Biddie’s soul it’s to see something go to waste that we’d be mighty grateful for, before the winter’s out. Oh, the pain of passing by a lonesome old apple tree that’s dropping apples on the bank of the road - and to be riding with somebody that won’t stop. There’s an old waste house up in the country that has the prettiest old apple tree in the yard; every spring it blooms, for folks who have been gone so long you can see daylight through the boards of the house. And every fall, the apples are as pretty and bright, like red balls on a Christmas tree. And they fall, for nobody. “Course, now lots of folks don’t like to fool with apples like that, because some of ‘em are a little bit wormy. But if a thing’s not fit for a worm to eat, I say, it won’t taste like much to people, either. Store ap>- ples may be pretty, but there is something about old Rusty-coats and Jonathans and Grimeses and Greenings, and the ones that didn’t know their father, that folks called “horse apples” - maybe it is character. Last fall we did stop for a tree, all by itself by the side of the road, and I didn’t have a sack, in this moment of good fortune, but I filled up my old hat. Don’t know what they were, just old “horse apples.” But we brought ‘em home and cut around the few wormy places and they made the best jelly. Once you’ve washed ‘em and got out the bad places you just cut ‘em up, cores and peels and all, and put enough water in the pan to keep ‘em from sticking, and cook ‘em to mush. When they’ve cooled squeeze out the juice through a damp muslin jelly rag, and measure it. Now. If you haven’t got a big stew pot - a canning kettle works good - don’t try to work with more than two or three cups at a time, for it boils real big. Put the juice on to boil, and measure out a cup of sugar for every cup of juice. Dump the sugar in the hot juice and stir it a little. Shortly after it boils again, start to test it - it’s apt to be quick. Let the juice drop off the side of a tablespoon, and when it begins to make two drops that run together, that’s it. Take it off, skim it and pour it up. The prettiest jelly out of last year’s batch had some strawberry juice, from a package of frozen, unsweetened strawberries. Say, you’d use a cup of berry juice to three cups of apple, and get the berry color and flavor. The same with grapes if you just have a few, not enough to make jelly by themselves. She didn’t say where this recipe came from, but one of the young ones sent it over, the other day, along with a piece of cake, and it was wonderful: ' APPLE CAKE 3 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 4 cups chopped apples % cup oil ' ' 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup chopped nuts “Mix it up and bake it at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes,” she says. 1 reckon it takes longer if you use a 9x13 pan than if you use layer pans. Aunt Biddi would put in a little salt, but some folks don’t want any. How about some scalloped apples, to cook along with a pork roast? Peel and slice five or six sharp-flavored apples. Mix a tablespoon of flour and a little pinch of salt with Vi cup of sugar. Layer the apples in a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with the sugar. Pour about ‘A cup can ned milk or cream over the top, dot the top with butter, put on the lid and bake it about 30 minutes, and uncover it for another 15 minutes or so.
