2988.0. "rings and rings of apples" by SOFBAS::MADSEN () Tue Apr 09 1991 16:07

    I've been looking for a recipe for years, maybe someone can help me...
    I'm not sure what they're called so I'll have to describe the food.
    
    when you go to some of the old restaurants (like the Old Mill) with
    the entree' they sometimes serve a sliced apple, it's red in color
    (all through) and is el dente' not hard like a fresh apple but 
    not exactly cooked.  I've tryed frying with cinnamon but it's not
    the same.  Any ideas  Some people call them apple rings.

2988.1persimmon, perhaps?SWAM1::PEDERSON_PAHey man, dig this groovy scene!Tue Apr 09 1991 17:164
    I think you're describing a persimmon. I don't know how
    they're prepared, tho, sorry.

    Nope, don't think its a persimmon.  My guess is that you soak it in
    something, I wouldn't be surprised if its not cooked at all, but then
    again it may be boiled.  Will look in my cookbooks tonight. (never been
    a fan of them myself)

    Sounds like spiced apple rings.  You can 'em.
2988.4You can buy them.MYGUY::LANDINGHAMMrs. KipTue Apr 09 1991 18:464
    I've also bought them in the supermarket.  I love them.  They come in a
    jar, but I have no idea what brands make them.  They are usually right
    next to the applesauce.  They make a wonderful garnish, on top of some
    lettuce.  Go great with pork and lamb...

    I believe the predominant spice is clove.
    Don't know how you make 'em though.

  Hmmm, it might be clove. I had the idea that they're made by pickling
  apple slices in vinegar and cinnamon. The red color sure looks to be
  added.

    	My mother-in-law makes them by slicing a cooking apple in about
    quarter inch slices.  Then puts them in a mixture of red cinnamon
    candies, a little water, and I think a whole clove.  Cook slowly, as
    the candies will burn.  
    
    	They always tasted fine.  Yes, you can buy them in the grocerie
    store, but I've never bought any.

2988.8Here's a recipe!KYOA::SHAINBy the time I get to Phoenix . . .Fri Apr 12 1991 09:2618
Sorry it took so long, here's the recipe for spiced apples taken without 
permission from  the New York Times Cookbook.


SPICED APPLES   -- 6 pints

5 lbs (15 medium) firm apples		4 sticks cinnamon, broken into
6 cups sugar				  1-inch pieces
2 cups white vinegar			2 teaspoons whole cloves

1.  Peel, quarter and core the apples.

2.  Combine the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon and cloves and heat to boiling.  
Add the apples and boil gently, uncovered, until tender but not broken.

3.  Pack into hot steril jars, filling to within one-quarter inch of the 
top and making sure the syrup covers the fruit.  Seal immediately.

2988.9nice looking garnish...TYGON::WILDEwhy am I not yet a dragon?Fri Apr 12 1991 18:463
the apple rings are red because they are dyed red by food coloring...either
in the red cinnamon candies or by adding red food coloring to the cinnamon
and sugar syrup.  As mentioned, they are available in the market.

    Thanks for the recipe, sounds pretty close, I'll try it and
    let you know.  I think the apples are excellent.
