Apple Jam
Pane-Bistecca
I got lots and lots of apples from my sisters garden. This year is a fruit year, the trees are laden and the branches are almost touching the floor with all their fruits. Now it is the owner duty to pluck them. Sadly nowadays it’s not done without pain; we are not 20 anymore. The floor is so far down and the branches so far up! I made Apple Jam with them.
My sister took all the work up with her visiting sister-in-law and her daughter, so I can cook the best apple jam ever. Of course I am excited!!
