Okay so I wrote this post originally to share an Apple Raisin Curry recipe our family enjoys bi-monthly. Really great recipe, will have to post it later. But as I was making the dish I discovered my Mom’s apple peeler and fell head over heals in love with the contraption.
I’d never used the it before though we received the peeler last christmas from my Uncle. Shocking! The curry recipe called for chopped/peeled granny smith apples and to shake things up a bit I hauled out the peeler ( okay it was just sitting on the kitchen counter) but I thought why not take my maiden voyage with the peeler for this recipe.
I have to admit I’m smitten by it, and to tell you the truth apples taste better when peeled like this! Plus, the apple comes out in a spiral, and it is a proven fact that food taste better in funny shapes!
The other thing I love about peeling apples like this is that when your done the apple still retains its shape if you stand it on end.
I got seriously carried away with the apple peeling process/photography and really didn’t take many photos of the curry making process. And the apple peeling photos turned out so well I had to give it my full attention with its own blog entry.
The photo of the peeler itself didn’t turn out that well, so I posed a link to a video about apple peelers. The one used in the video is exactly the same as ours, except ours has a suction cup bottom, so it secures itself to any flat surface.
Happy Apple Peeling!
