Title: Fermented Apples
Categories: Apples, Pickles
Yield: 1 Batch
5 lb Apples
5 qt Water
2 c Rye flour
4 tb Sugar or honey
2 ts Salt
Fermented apples, a regional specialty of central Ukraine, are used
as a relish or an accompaniment to roasts, poultry, and game. They
are somewhat similar to apples cured in sauerkraut but of a more
delicate flavor. Although they are considered a delicacy by the old
country gourmets, one has to be accustomed to them to enjoy their
piquant taste. Ukrainian Canadian homemakers seldom, if ever, make
them, but the recipe is worth preserving. When trying this recipe,
select undamaged apples of a good quality and tart in flavor.
Select ripe, undamaged apples with a tart flavor. Wash the apples
thoroughly and remove the blossom ends. Place the apples in a crock.
If cherry or currant leaves are available, arrange the apples and
leaves in alternate layers. Bring the water to a boil. Pour half of
the water over the flour and stir briskly until smooth. Add the
remaining water and strain the mixture. Stir in the salt and sugar.
Cool to lukewarm. Pour over the apples. allowing enough liquid to
rise several inches above the apples. Cover with a plate and weight
down with a suitable weight to keep the apples completely submerged.
Keep at room temperature for 1 week and then store them. It will take
5 to 8 weeks for the apples to ferment, depending on the variety
used. During the process of fermentation, a scum will form on the
surface. It should be removed and the plate washed as often as
necessary. Store in a cold place.
Apples may also be cured in a slightly sweetened water For this
method, use 5 qt boiled water to 1 cup of sugar or honey and 2 ts
salt. This method is less troublesome, and the results are equally
good.
