Title: Looking for apples
Post by: lemonbird on Sep 04, 08, 06:47:25 PM: I'm a local jam maker looking for "local" apples to use in some jams this next week. We have fruit trees but not an apple yet. If anyone has any fruit that can't use - let me know. I'd be happy to trade jams for fruits! Oh, and looking for unsprayed, untreated fruits - thanks.

Thanks,

Amy

Just kidding folks.

Hi Amy -- I have a tree that bore heavily this year, but I should have thinned them. They're not very sweet this year. If you want them you're welcome to them, and I will take you up on you kind offer of jam!

Post by: Nolena on Sep 12, 08, 08:24:14 PM: Anyone interested in coming to my berry/fruit processing party (So far we're making jam, pies, and wine.) let me know. I'm trying to schedule a day.
I also have a whole lot of apples. It's a good year for fruit. :2thumbsup:

O.K., Amy -- your apricot jam with pistachio nuts is SHEER HEAVEN. I have had it on bread and then on turkey (sounds weird but it's amazing). Just thought I would share!

Sounds great, Chris (and Amy)!
So, how does one go about getting some of these marvelous sounding jams?

And Amy,
My wife used to get Knott's Crabapple jelly and loved it. They've quit making it and we've yet to be able to find a replacement. You don't happen to have a crabapple jelly of your own do you?

Post by: Sagebrush on Sep 15, 08, 10:57:05 PM: There are a bunch of crabapple trees on the corner of Apple and Acorn. They are empty lots and we always gather up the apples for our friends horses so they dont go to waste but tons of them still do every year. If you are looking for a lot of apples then you should hit that place up.......

I'm sharing.
Also, a second crop of pears will be ready in about a week.
:2thumbsup: Life is good. :2thumbsup:

Title: Local Apples
Post by: BabyEagle on Oct 03, 09, 06:00:17 PM: Whatever happened to Lone Pine Meadows apple farm?

Are there any local apple farms open right now or do you have to drive all the way to Oak Glen?
Title: Re: Local Apples
Post by: Domingo on Oct 16, 10, 08:04:22 AM: Like BabyEagle, I also wonder if anyone knows why the Lone Pine Meadows Apple Farm shut down and if they have plans to open again in the future. Somone, please let us know.

There are some fruit farms in Phelan. One is the Roaring L Ranch.
