Pruning Time and Apple Wood

Although we have had a lot of wet days, it's a great time to get started with pruning. Caleb is giving the trees quite a haircut! Trees that didn't bear well the last few years are being removed. They will be replaced. As a result, we have a large pile of apple wood.

I look forward to roasting a chicken with apple wood. Split a whole chicken in half. Place over a low fire, using apple wood, for about 2 hours. Check occasionally. One side often gets a bit burnt, but it doesn't affect the flavor. The chicken will be moist and juicy. Oh.....so good!
