The place where I currently live has 5 mature apple trees and one pear tree on the premises. This season's bounty is absolutely overwhelming and I have no idea of what to do with all the fresh fruit.
When I go outside I hear apples and pears dropping to the ground all around me. I actually jump every time I hear an apple fall - maybe because I feel guilty about all this perfectly good fruit going to waste? I bet I could fill at least 50 boxes with apples/pears in the space of a single afternoon.
I don't have a freezer and I don't can.
Maybe I should set up a produce stand and sell all my apples off to my neighbors?
I am going to bake an apple pie today and a pear flan tomorrow - pathetic gestures in the face of my current embarrassment of riches.
