Apples

WITH the coming of winter comes roast pork to a prominent place in the dinner menu. And pork brings apples with it. For years we have served apple sauce, but leave it to Nancy to find some unusual way to combine the apples and the ham, roast pork or pork chops. She chose apple sauce sifted to a fineness into which she folded whipped cream and freshly grated horseradish. She chose baked apples In the center of which she had stuffed squares of crisp bacon and raisins and lemon peel. Sometimes she put tiny crisp sausages in the hollow of the apple. She often spiced prunes and served them. To do this she soaked large prunes over night. Next day she simmered them until tender. As they simmered she added brown sugar and vinegar and two inches of stick cinnamon. Just before she took them from the fire she added a small amount of cornstarch stirred in cold water and then cooked in the syrup until it became translucent. These spiced prunes made her experiment with spiced apples. She chose firm, red skinned cooking apples. She cut them in half-inch thick slices. Then she took out core and cooked the apple rings slowly in a heavy syrup made of equal parts sugar and water. To this she added a little stick cinnamon, a few whole cloves, a suspicion of ginger and a tablespoon or two of vinegar. When the apples were tender but not broken, she took them out of the syrup and cooked that down until thick. She spooned this over the rings after she had arranged them on the serving plate. Peter voted them a great success.
