This is not the recipe. The recipe is secret. I can, however, give you the "for Sequoia eyes only" recipe.
Preparing the apples
Remove all cores, chew seeds in mouth to release the juices, spit into pot, cook for 10 mins on high stirrig constantly.
The crumble
Actually, you don't want to know what someone came up with to throw our guests off.
I'm wwoofing in the Villa Backpacker Lodge in Picton (did I tell you that already?). Every night we serve the world famous in NZ since ages ago apple crumble with ice cream, prepared with
love. The free internet here is frustrating to the extreme; some genious hacker has disabled facebook. Thankfully I don't have hotmail, because that's disabled too. Driving me nuts with anger.
Last night we went to the "neighbours" at Sequoia Backpackers and sampled their delicious if extremely heavy chocolate pudding/cake. With ice cream. Accompanied by first white wine and then some Canterbury Cream (the poor man's - woman's - Baileys).
I'm waiting to hear from Wine Marlborough to know when pruning starts and I could actually start earning in stead of just stopping spending.
Yes, that's what this was called. I thought it was far from impossible though. It mostly demanded patience. An impossible jigsaw would be one with a single colour and crap pieces that don't stay together.
I was rather sad when it was done. I made quite a few friends over the four days that it took, and met one from the past! :)
The aquataxi did a little detour so that we could admire the Split Apple Rock. Nobody knows, why it split.
Here's the proof. This was actually at the end of the track. By this time both our feet ached and we were gibberish from tiredness. We had some good giggles! ;)
A couple of bridges there. Nice!
And the middle aged couple who walked past did not see the fun in this picture. Grinch. We had fun :)
