The apple (malus pumila)
is one of the first fruits to be cultivated and is now the most important
fruit in Europe and North America. There are more then 7000 named
varieties of the apple with a history that goes back 8000 years. During
early times apples were enjoyed year round by drying them. The familiar
large sweet apple known today is much changed from the tiny sour crab
apples which were its wild ancestors.
Apples can be easily
crossbred through apple blossoms and by grafting. The spread of apples in
America was encouraged by Johnny Appleseed (born Johnny Chapman in 1775).
He collected large quantities of apple seeds from cider mills and
journeyed up and down the countryside, planting them wherever possible.
Apples can be many
colors, from red to yellow to green, and combinations of the three. Most
eating apples are dense, while cooking apples are softer and fall apart
during cooking. However, the distinction between cooking and eating apples
is not taken very seriously in the United States. Today apples are made
into: apple butter, apple sauce and apple juice, and desserts such as:
pies, tarts, crumble and fritters.
Cinnamon, one of the
oldest known spices, is native to Sri Lanka where it thrives in the hot
moist climate. There are references to cinnamon as far back as ancient
Egypt and in the bible. Cinnamon is not recorded in Sri Lanka until the
13th century.
Cinnamon comes from the
bark of an evergreen laurel tree that has shiny leaves, yellowish white
flowers and dark blue berries. It grows to 33 feet in the wild and likes
sandy soil. The longest and best pieces of the bark are hand rolled and
dried into quills. When they reach the right moisture they are tan in
color, and smooth, thin and brittle.
Most cinnamon is powdered
and used in cooking. Cinnamon is naturally sweet with a delightfully
spicy, woody fragrance due to the essential oils found in its bark. And
its taste is intense and warm.
