Paula red and McIntosh also Michigan Honey crisp are in season here, sweet apples good for just plain eating. I like mixing a tart apple with a sweet apple when I make a dish. I sometimes leave the peel on if I want it rustic. Don't hook up a drill to the handle part of the peeler, it does go faster but not a very good idea....lol they tried it at the Apple Orchard I worked at to see if we could peel more apples. Boy what a mess it made! LOL! And apple butter yum, apple jelly, crab apple jelly is yummy too! Ever have crab apple jelly? Oh boy, never thought of attaching a drill the the apple peeler... Yes, I can imagine what happened. Reminds me of the woman who wrote in and said she was teaching her kids to toss pizza dough in the air and they forgot the overhead fan was on... Don't think I've ever had crabapple jelly, Kimberly - I see crabapples at the farmstand now, though. Along with my favorite pommes grise - small, sweet, VERY crisp... :) PJH
