Hear more and more distrustful grumbling customers, standing next to, say, our apples look worse import, quince afternoon with fire you will not find, and drain either rotten or good only for jam. I kind of agree, but because it catches the eye of autumn grapes, brought from the south, harsh pear with a thin skin and rosy apples from all over the country. At this point, hands reach to choose fruit for the fruit, making sure that they are no worse than the Greek or Turkish counterparts, which are afraid to approach the worms.
But it strikes me not color or size, and the number of varieties, each of which leads to scroll in his head dozens of recipes. And just remember, as the apple varieties "rennet" my grandmother cooked jam, like liquid amber, and she baked cakes flavored with sour Antonovka - unpretentious, but maddening its tart spirit.
By the way, this autumn I think charlotte cake. Ordinary apple charlotte, which can make even a child. Such a "magic wand" when you call your friends and tell about the impending visit, and in the fridge there is nothing interesting. Charlotte - the best friend of employed Sweet, lazy and avid fans of apples in all their manifestations. No one is indifferent. Therefore happy to share the recipe classic Charlotte, who got me from my grandmother.
