Late in September the first fall after we built the haymaker, there came a heavy gale that blew off fully one half the apple crop Baldwins, Greenings, Blue Pearmains and Spitzenburgs. Since we could barrel none of the windfalls as number one fruit, that part of our harvest, more than a thousand bushels, seemed likely to prove a loss.
There is a variety in our orchards called the winesap, a doubly liquid name that suggests what might be done with this fruit. The apple is the commonest and yet the most varied and beautiful of fruits. A dish of them is as becoming to the centre-table in winter as was the vase of flowers in the summer, a bouquet of spitzenbergs and greenings and northern spies.
They should treble in thickness by rising, and require from twenty minutes to half an hour to bake. When done, the marked-out top can easily be removed. Take out the soft inside, and fill with sweetmeats for dessert, or with minced chicken or oysters prepared as on p. 140. Line a deep pie-plate with plain paste. Pare sour apples, greenings are best; quarter, and cut in thin slices.
David burst into a hoarse fit of laughter, and Tom joined in, laughing till the tears ran down his cheeks. "Say, Master Tom," cried David. "Pippins!" There was another burst of laughter, and then David suggested Wellingtons, and followed up with Winter Greenings, each time roaring with laughter. "He's got apples this time, and no mistake, sir," he said. "Yes, David; striped ones."
They held up in good condition until the thirtieth of August, during the hottest weather of the season. The Greenings, while large in size, of fine color, and apparently in perfect condition when packed, invariably came out of cold storage badly scalded and discolored. In fact, there were only three or four lots which were entirely free from scald.
That yaller picture-frame was paid for in greenings. But then people knew jest what they had. They didn't fritter their substance away in unchristian trifles, like your father, Eliza Jane, who doesn't know that there is a God who will smite him hip and thigh; for vengeance is mine, and those that believe in me. But here, singularly enough, the inferior maxillaries gave out, and her jaw dropped.
"Well, there hain't much profit in givin' apples away," said Simon Lundy, pursing up his thin lips. "Got some putty good golden russets left. How many do ye want?" "Give us all you can spare for a quarter," said Shep, who had been chosen treasurer of the club for the outing. Simon Lundy led the way to his barn, and there the boys picked out some russets and some greenings.
The minute they finished the outdoor work Laddie and Leon began bringing in baskets of apples, golden bellflowers, green pippins, white winter pearmains, Rhode Island greenings, and striped rambos all covered with hoarfrost, yet not frozen, and so full of juice you had to bite into them carefully or they dripped and offended mother. These they washed and carried to the cellar ready for use.
"I'll wake up the Greenings as I go by and send some of them over to stay with you." "Don't leave me here with it don't leave me!" begged Ollie. "I can't stay here in the house with it alone!" She shrank away from her husband's body, unlovely in death as he had been unloved in life, and clung to Joe's arm.
STEWED APPLES. No. 2. Apples cooked in the following way look very pretty on a tea-table and are appreciated by the palate. Select firm round greenings, pare neatly and cut in halves; place in a shallow stewpan with sufficient boiling water to cover them and a cup of sugar to every six apples.
