Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Storing Apples..........


Apples like cold temperatures, but since they emit a lot of ethylene gas, keep them away from fruits and vegetables that are sensitive to ethylene gas and immediately remove apples that are starting to go bad. One bad Apple can spoil the whole group!

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Apple hints......


Sweet varieties, especially good for eating out of hand, include Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Gala and York Imperial. Use these varieties in salads, on sandwiches, or in fresh fruit arrangements. My favorite Apple to have as a snack are Honey Crisp Apples! 

Sunday, January 20, 2019

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Did you add too much salt...........


If you add too much salt to a soup or stew throw in a raw peeled potato or apple and it will help absorb the excess salt. Remove it after 10 minutes or so.

Saturday, January 19, 2019

Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Apples and Bananas..........


Don’t store apples and bananas near each other. Apples give off a gas that makes the bananas ripen (and go soft) much faster!

One of America's Favorites - Caramel Apple

Caramel apple with peanuts

Caramel apples or taffy apples are created by dipping or rolling apples-on-a-stick in hot caramel, sometimes then rolling them in nuts or other small savories or confections, and allowing them to cool. Generally, they are called caramel apples when only caramel is applied and taffy apples for when there are further ingredients such as peanuts applied.






For high-volume production of caramel apples, a sheet of caramel can be wrapped around the apple, followed by heating the apple to melt the caramel evenly onto it. This creates a harder caramel that is easier to transport but more difficult to eat. Caramel apple production at home usually involves melting pre-purchased caramel candies for dipping or making a homemade caramel from ingredients like corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla. Homemade caramel generally results in a softer, creamier coating.

In recent years, it has become increasingly popular to decorate caramel apples for holidays like
Bags of caramels.....
Halloween. Methods used to do this include applying sugar or salt to softened caramel, dipping cooled, hardened apples in white or milk chocolate, or painting designs onto finished caramel apples with white chocolate colored with food coloring.

Classically, the preferred apples for use in caramel apples are tart, crisp apples such as Granny Smith or Fuji apples. Softer, grainy-textured apples can also be used, but are not preferred.

In addition to caramel apples, manufacturers and consumers have started to coat apples in chocolate syrup, peanut butter, etc. and adding toppings such as crushed peanuts, pretzels, mini M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, coconut flakes, and mini chocolate chips. Candy apple shops and candy apple bars have started to pop up in bigger cities, at weddings and parties to allow people to enjoy the apple with the dipping sauces and toppings they prefer.



* I always think of these around the Halloween Season. When I was growing up my Grandparents owned a small neighborhood store. Every Halloween Season my Grandmother would just make endless amounts of Caramel Apple with crushed Peanuts on them. So Good!!
