I honestly think that the Remoska is my best ever kitchen gadget.

If you eat meat, you could plug it with any already cooked meat ... or go proper wartime friendly and use Spam.<br /><br />It sounds like you have had a proper peel-a-thon, you must have had aching fingers!! Free apples and cheap potatoes would have seemed like you'd won a prize in the rationing years.Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357986858029233975.post-76642034463201115272022-10-20T09:10:16.081+01:002022-10-20T09:10:16.081+01:00That's such a clever idea.

Yesterday we bought a 12.5 kilo bag and set to peeling, we made loads of mash, roasties and chips all for the freezer ,then started on a bag of windfall apples that we had been given making spiced apple chutney and stewed apple, today making a cheese and apple pie and an apple cake ,all peeled out !!! The smell of chutney cooking I find so nostalgic and making all these things from free apples and really cheap potatoes is so satisfying and wartime cooking friendly !Chrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265885693374549426noreply@blogger.com
