Bake them, spice them, make them into vinegar our panel has a bunch of juicy ideas for your windfall of applesI always use surplus apples in cakes and desserts, but what are my savoury options? Emily, by email“We use heaps of apples, because we’re in the beating heart of apple country,” says Merlin Labron-Johnson, chef/owner of Osip and The Old Pharmacy, both in Bruton, Somerset. “People can’t give them away, so we’re constantly doing different things with them.” One keeper is apple ketchup, which, happily, just so happens to be a breeze to make. “You don’t even need to peel or core the apples,” Labron-Johnson says. “Bake them whole – we do this in hay, but obviously people don’t necessarily have that to hand – and you get this really savoury, nutty flavour.” Blend the cooked apples, then pass through a sieve and add some sugar and vinegar. That’s good dolloped on the side of sausages, and it keeps and freezes well, too.Mark Diacono, author of Abundance, says Emily should consider g...

4 h. ago Houseplant clinic: why is there a chalky crust on my plant’s soil?

It’s a buildup of mineral salts from hard tap water or fertiliser. Switching to rainwater or filtered water, and feeding only in spring and summer, will helpWhat’s the problem? There is a chalky white crust on the top of my spider plant’s potting mix, and the leaf tips are turning brown. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?Diagnosis This is a buildup of mineral salts from hard tap water or fertiliser. As water evaporates, salts are left behind and come to the surface. Over time, they concentrate around the roots, drawing out moisture and scorching sensitive tissues, which shows up as brown, papery leaf tips and edges.

On the morning of 7 October 2023, I was sitting on a train with my son and husband on our much anticipated way to pick up a new puppy.
