Collect the given apple

  • Who doesn't have an apple tree near home? Those who live in the wet Basque Country, at least a little further or a little further away, will have a grain of that domesticated fruit tree, if not an apple. Domesticated, not in vain is called Malus x domestica. And if it's been domesticated somewhere, that's our own house, the land of our culture.

The one around him knows to what extent that tree is fertile. If he is in shape, if the time of the year has been in shape, if the land has been in shape, the grain of unripened apples and the grain of the season is going to pray, although the main reason the tree has to decide whether or not to donate grains is that it is wanting, that it has nothing to do with the seasons, that are not up to date. Anyone who doesn’t have that desire is called a “vague tree,” even a male. Why will it be? Give her that's the female. And the one who does not give it is given wood, like the slaves, his neck is cut and he is crushed or grafted to put another head, he is torn, pruned and made hundreds of wounds ... I think so! Well, that torture is the cider of the other barrel, and we leave it for the next time.

It's better that we grab the cider. The apple tends to be abundant when it has it. And in the apples, you can swim in apples. When the fruits begin to mature, it is difficult to maintain and follow the action of the tree. Some fresh, you'll eat them as it is, but soon you'll have to do something else in your head. How can we conserve apples without wasting them?

To start, store the apples as they are, in a dark, fresh and ventilated place. Dried, filleted apples, cut and in jars or in the freezer may also be collected. For example, a liquid apple. The must that is produced, the apples are beaten, dominated in the lagar and can be pasteurized in their sweet throughout the year, boil as cider and simmer the vinegar. Jam, sweets, confectionery, reximenta, jelly... Sweets, cooking and crushing. All year round apples.
