The Harvest

Apples and pears that could be well kept for a long time, were placed in the attic. Mostly they cut the sweet apples in pieces and let them dry a long time. The dried apples were stored in tin drums and later soaked in water and proccesed into stew. You could also eat it with syrop or brauwn sugar. For many it was a delight! These and other story you can see in our museum.
