Thread Name: BS: The Aged Cheese
Subject: RE: BS: The Aged Cheese
Ah, that makes jelly 'conserve' then.... and another cheese is the bit left over after a cider maker has been performing his art. The mashed up sharp cider apples are all compressed into a block by the cider press, and it gets peeled off the straw and eaten as a sort of stiff apple sauce or sharp pie filling. The block is called a cheese, because that's what the texture is like, solid, but crumbly, and incidentally, a darn sight nicer than dairy cheese....

LTS - whose grandad used to make cider for his farm workers, and being only young, I was only allowed the cheese.. took a few more years before I was allowed the final product.... mmmmm
