They make the best pies. Unfortunately this year the y are few and far between, because of the unusual spring and drought. Planned to make vinegar with the peels, but I don't think we'll get enough to bother. Have you tried drying them? That's an easy way to preserve the harvest.<br /><br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-61409873045556042322012-09-13T07:13:47.085-04:002012-09-13T07:13:47.085-04:00Oh, that pie is so gorgeous.
