So, we have this tree at work that is plump full of them. I would guess 20 gallons. I eat them quite a bit this time of year throughout the day once they sweeten up. They are ready. I hate to see them go to waste. But, I am not exactly sure what can be done with them. We have a tree of the bigger crab apples at home that I make fruit roll ups out of, jelly, dehydrated, etc..
But, these apples are small. Like the size of regular north dakota plums or small grocery store plums. I have an old enterprise sausage stuffer with the strainer and strainer plate. But, i can't see peeling these little things and i suspect the peels will plug that thing up instantly. I also have one of those steam juicer/extractor contraptions and figure this will be the only way to get anything worth while out of them. but, am probably going to have to cut them in half or even quarters to expose them to the steam.
Anyone deal with these smaller apples? Ideas?
