It's kinda long to type here, but if you'd send me an e-mail, I'll zap it back to you. (I KNOW I posted the recipe once, but do you think I can find the post?!) <br /><br />The Haralson is more of a cooking/baking apple and stores well so we are always glad when these friends share with us. We are blessed!

So jealous of those carrots.

Just Googled them: originates from Excelsior, Minnesota (!!) and was introduced in 1913. An apple I won't find in my local natural food store, but am thrilled these apples with history are still around. I love fruitcake--never make jokes about them, but if your recipe is even better any chance you'd share it? I usually order mine from some monks back east who bake and sell them to raise money for their monastery.

I do have a recipe or two, like Gingersnaps that turn hard as rocks after they've been frozen, so I don't freeze them. Before the holidays, to get a jump start on my Christmas cookies, I make and freeze the doughs. Then closer to Christmas or when I need the holiday cookies, I find it super-easy to just defrost the raw dough and have fresh baked cookies in an hour or so.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-55393178574015826512015-10-15T17:49:21.309-05:002015-10-15T17:49:21.309-05:00Wow!

Do you bake them first?Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569684144657934330noreply@blogger.com
