I taught my oldest daughter how to slice apples today because she wanted to help me can applesauce. As I finished a half bushel of apples, and prepared to cook the slices until soft in applejuice instead of water, my husband suggested we try juicing the skins and cores that were awaiting the compost pile, and add that juice to the stock pot. What a cool idea! I could re-use my kitchen waste, and then the pulp would end up in the compost pile. I know that I can use the pulp for additional meals but I’m not too sure how pulp from just skins and cores would be. Well, I guess all I could do is try, right? There was still quite a bit of flesh left on the cores.
So we did that and the juice is added to the apples that are on the stove. And I may just have to save the pulp and use it in muffins or something and just see how that works out. How cool would it be to be able to use everything and have zero waste?
