Spiced Apples

Spiced Apples

Another way to freeze apples, Spiced Apple is fantastic to keep in the freezer to add to roasted joints.

Ingredients:

225 g sugar

3/4 pint water

4 inch cinnamon stick

6 eating apples

Method:

Place the sugar, water and cinnamon in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves.

Cut up all the fruit into bite sized chunks or slices of at least 1/4 inch thick.

Simmer the apple until tender. I find it beneficial to do a few at a time.

Take the apple from the syrup, drain and cool.

Arrange on a sheet and freeze. Once frozen place into labelled and dated freezer containers.

Remove the cinnamon from the syrup and use or freeze in labelled and dated freezer containers.

Additional Notes:

Cinnamon is perfect for this recipe but any spices can be used that you like to serve with apple. Perhaps try cloves and cinnamon in the dish.

Equipment Used:

Saucepan

Chopping board

Knife

Freezer containers.

Freezing Notes:

The syrup and apple can be frozen for up to 2 months.

The apple can be used to serve around roasted joints or in pies or an apple sauce. The syrup can also be used to make sauces, or sorbets for example.
