What to do with Under-Ripe Apples? Make Syrup!

avatar

Between the tree dropping apples before they're ripe and squirrels knocking them off, we have a lot of small under-ripe apples under the tree.

I collected all the apples and sorted them between good apples and ones that are fit for our compost pile.

These are mostly being thrown away. But what to do with the good ones? Make an APPLE SYRUP!

I inspect and wash the good apples and put them in a large glass jar and I measure an equal weight of sugar.

Then I pour some sugar on the apples!

I fill the entire empty cavity of the jar with sugar and seal it up.

The idea is that over time (about 3 - 4 months) as the apples break down, the juices mix with the sugar and dissolve into a syrup. That's what I'm hoping anyway!

The syrup can be added to carbonated water to make Apple Soda, or it could be used as an ice-cream topping. I'm hoping that the sour unripe apples and sugar will make a nice sweet/sour syrup.

As the months go by, we'll see how this progresses.

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Apple syrup over ice-cream sounds fascinating. Almost like garlic ice-cream. First time I ever heard of it, when I lived in the UK and travelled to Italy I was disgusted. And then I tasted it. AMAZING. Not at all what one would expect. Now a new flavour my entire family just experienced (and devoured) perhaps Lauren can try @ironshield. We gave a friend a bucket of the chillies dripping off our plants. She incorporated some into a green/unripe apple jam (I think you call it jelly?) with lemon zest. It was unbelievable
