That's three big buckets of apples processed this morning.
Some have been stacked for storing in our cool front room (not been very successful doing this in past years - possibly not cool enough).
The rest have been peeled, cored, and chopped roughly and are in bags in the freezer for cooking or juicing later.
After praising Red Fallstaff apples last week, the ones that I picked yesterday were smaller and had grey spots on the skin - a search seems to indicate may be something called 'Sooty Blotch' - once peeled they were absolutely fine as it's a skin mould.
I think that's the last of the apples for this year.
