[Herbalist] Apples

[Christine Seelye-King]

Crab apples are New World, I believe.  A Lady apple is a period variety that
is still around today.  Pippins were small, hard, and not very sweet, but
not as tart or as small as a crab, IIRC.
Try checking out the Florilegium (.org), there have been numerous
discussions about apples on the SCA Cook's list and I'm sure there is
information there.

 Greetings
 Could anyone describe an apple in the middle ages? I was thinking small
crab apples myself. But I don't know.
 Also, I have a feast this weekend, any one have a period apples recipe?
I have an abandoned apple orchard on the way :-)
Thank you
