Day 52

it's autumn......or fall as it's know in the us of a! the word fall is traced to origins of old Germanic languages. The exact derivation is unclear, the old english fiæll or feallan and the old norse fall all being possible candidates.
these all have the meaning "to fall from a height" and are most likely derived from a common root or from each other.
i digress....well not really.....with all the harvesting that has been going on of late, there has been a lot of stewing, poaching, boiling etc of fruit and veges in our household. chutney's, jams, butters (yup made apple butter at the weekend).
we received two massive shopping bags of quince's at the weekend also, just when we thought we had got to the end of all the fruit. so today i started on doing something with these quinces....well actually just boiling them up so that they can be cored and skinned easily, they're tough little buggers!
they are such an interesting fruit, so had and yellow, yet when you boil them they become pinky red. once i had boiled them up i made an apple and quince crumble...yummo....using the apple butter i made at the weekend....also tried a derivative of anzac bikkies with the apple butter also....should be interesting! actually might have to go try one now......
