AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY
Unique Uses Of Apple
KEEP CAKES FRESH:--Want a simple and effective way to extend the shelf life of your home made or shop bought cakes? Store them with a half an apple. It helps the cake maintain its moisture considerable longer than merely popping it in the fridge.
RIPEN GREEN TOMATOES:-- If someone in your family just helped by harvesting a few green tomatoes off the line for you,don't sweet. You can quickly ripen them up by placing them along with an already ripe apple in a paper bag for a couple of days. For the best results maintain a ratio of about five or six tomatoes per apple.
FLUFF UP HARDENED BROWN SUGER:--. Brown sugar has the irritating habit of hardening up when exposed to humidity. Fortunately,it doesn't take much to make this a temporary condition. Simply place an apple wedge in a resealable plastic bag with the chunk of hardened brown sugar. Tightly seal the bag and put it in a dry place for a day or two. Your sugar will once again be soft enough to use.
ABSORB SALT IN SOUPS AND CASSEROLES:-- Salting to taste is one thing,but it is possible to over do it. When you find yourself getting heavy handed with the salt,simply drop a few apple wedge in to the pot. After cooking for another 10 minutes or so,remove the wedges along with the excess salt.
USE AS DECORATIVE CANDLE HOLDERS:-- Add a cosy,country feel your table setting by creating a natural candle holder. Use an apple corer to carve a hole three quarters of the way down into a pair of large apples,insert a tall decorative candle in to each hole,surround the apples with a few leaves,branches or flowers and voila you have a lovely centrepiece.
