Hello again

If I don't take the plunge back into blogging, it might never happen, so here I am. Please don't expect anything thrillingly exciting.

Yesterday I returned home with a large tote of cooking apples from my parents' well-laden tree. This morning, I chopped a baker 's dozen of them and stewed them with a generous handful of dried cranberries. I usually add sultanas, but seem to have run out of those. The cranberries give a slight pink tinge to the stewed fruit and the result is delicious, hot or cold.

I froze some in portions in ramekins and have a bowlful in the fridge for consumption tomorrow - or perhaps this evening.
