Another fun project to play around with. Taken at a new cidery in the hills near where I live. Beautiful setting. Thank you Brenda also for the BeFunky tip.
THIS IS A VERY EASY RECIPE:
Ingredients:
- Chocolate: milk, white, or black
- Strawberries (or other fruits)
- Sugar decorations
Process:
- Dissolve the chocolate you prefer into a microwave little by little;
- Cool your chocolate for some seconds so that it is not so liquid;
- Immerse the strawberries into the chocolate you prefer and decorate them as you wish...

AND WHAT CAN YOU DRINK?
PERHAPS YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT WE CAN DRINK BEER EATING CAKE AND FRUITS TOO....
SO....
PLEASE, READ THE FOLLOWING:
Lambic is a very distinctive type of beer brewed traditionally in the Pajottenland region of Belgium (southwest of Brussels) and in Brussels itself at the Cantillon Brewery and museum. Lambic is now mainly consumed after refermentation, resulting in derived beers such as Gueuze or Kriek.
Unlike conventional ales and lagers, which are fermented by carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts, lambic beer is produced by spontaneous fermentation: it is exposed to the wild yeasts and bacteria that are said to be native to the Senne valley, in which Brussels lies. It is this unusual process which gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, usually with a sour aftertaste.

Ballots are unreasoned; unreasoning. My youth was saved by the abolition of the conscription ballot. The last time my number came up for jury duty a surgeon had left me with an eye looking like a handful of minced beef. This time I have no excuses. The Sheriff would not accept that now was the time to make cider. It was a pressing matter. It is a bittersweet thing.
Today I rush through the picking, milling and pressing of these somerset redstreak apples. Not elegant, not pretty and not from a supermarket near you ā I cannot let my years of labour be wasted on the courts. Today I make cider. Tommorrow? I may be bound by civic duty for the next fortnight, selected then challenged or remain on the list of jurors, not quite ad infinitum, but for the remainder of the year ā in limbo.
There'll be more cider apples ripening later ā I expect three pressings. These won't wait and are too good to waste. Their cider, fermented and off the lees will be about 7 per cent of alcohol, dry and delicate; pleasant as a varietal still cider. I could chaptalise ā add sugar ā to increase the alcohol; make it more like a table wine. That's not my thing ā I know a cidery where it is normal. I've waited, expressed the juice until my refractomer said now is good, and until the weather said use it or lose it. Now duty has got in the way. My plan will be to rack this batch off when it has fermented out all the sugar, then blend with the remainder of my varieties as they mature; prime and bottle condition for a jolly sparkling brew: a bit funky, tannic ā a taste of the past Summer in a bottle.
Seasons and the day are more important to me now. They always should be. I was called to court, the accused arraigned on matters heinous and my number drawn. Perhaps it was my death stare; given freely. There was guilt in that countenance. Whatever, the defence challenged my selection. Now I am free to return to Nature, the seasons, my apples, that cider.

These are greens but I do love the song so very much āŖā«Roger Miller, Little Green Apples
Apples

Behold the applesā rounded worlds:
juice-green of July rain,
the black polestar of flowers, the rind
mapped with its crimson stain.
The russet, crab and cottage red
burn to the sunās hot brass,
then drop like sweat from every branch
and bubble in the grass.
They lie as wanton as they fall,
and where they fall and break,
the stallion clamps his crunching jaws,
the starling stabs his beak.
In each plump gourd the cidery bite
of boysā teeth tears the skin;
the waltzing wasp consumes his share,
the bent worm enters in.
I, with as easy hunger, take
entire my seasonās dole;
welcome the ripe, the sweet, the sour,
the hollow and the whole.

I've been feeling a damp, drizzly November in my soul, so I headed to the woods.
The weeds now bowing and dark; there was a cidery smell of decay in the air, the dark winter waters lapping high.
I relaxed, breathing in deeply; a little light spilled just enough to make images possible, I tingled and warmed up inside, Iād found my images for the day.
