“autumn…the year’s last loveliest smile”
william cullen bryant
oh hasn't this autumn been exceptionally lovely?
and another gorgeous weekend ahead of us to savour.
yes, we still have mutsu apples for you to pick.
our very last apple to harvest. and oh what a fabulous apple too!
crisp and juicy with a complexity of flavours.
mark says they taste better sliced…and shared.
mutsus are so versatile...perfect to use in a sweet or savoury dish.
you will notice some ‘freckles’ on some of the apples.
many look perfectly imperfect…
these are a cosmetic flaw and don’t affect the taste.
the wet spring and summer is the culprit.
how cute is this heart shaped apple?
apples pair so well with cheese.
these took only minutes to make…
made with our favourite seedy bread, grated old cheddar cheese, a few slices of apple,
sprinkled with a handful of walnuts and tucked under a broiler.
they were drizzled with a little honey, garnished and devoured while warm.
an easy fall lunch with a side salad!
i happened to still have lavender blooming in the garden, and loved that combination,
but you could use fresh thyme or rosemary to garnish.
i'm sure there must be a lovely wine or cider to pair with that too!
have you been down to the credit river here? it really is magical.
and of course you have to try our cider there. it really does taste like pure autumn!
oh i cant think of a better place to be this weekend than the farm.
so much to delight in…
make an apple pie in the barn, pick a few apples,
make an apple pie in the barn, pick a few apples,
meander down to the river, sip some apple cider,
roast a hot dog over the wood fire, pick out a pumpkin to carve,
smile with autumn all the way home. bliss.
warm autumn hugs
laura
