Description of apple ranetki
This species is the result of breeding work obtained from crossing the Siberian apple variety with several European large-fruited varieties. Gardeners also liked the high-yielding, unpretentious and frost-resistant look for their decorative properties - in the fall these apple trees are literally strewn with small burgundy fruits or yellow with rosy barrels. The weight of one fruit is from 15 to 40 g. Most varieties are sour and slightly pungent, and very small, so they are most often processed for jam or stewed from them.
100 g of ranet apples contain about 47 kcal, the ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates: 3, 8 and 89%.
Preparing fruits for processing
Rinse apples in running cold water. As a rule, they are sold with stalks, you can not tear them off, so ranetki will look more appetizing in a compote. But if the stalks are too long, cut them off, leaving 1/3. So that during the heat treatment, the peel on the fruits does not break, make several punctures in each apple with a wooden toothpick. To guarantee the preservation of the appearance of apples, before cooking, put them in a wide basin or on a large dish and pour boiling water. Leave to stand under the lid for 20 minutes.
