Jelly-style plum jam

Lots of people make plum jam, but you can also elevate this to a rather elegant jelly, simply by removing the skins. It's not a true jelly (this is normally made with juice), but leans towards that style: light and, above all, delicious.

Bouquet garni

Used very frequently in French cuisine, a secret of French chefs, it adds flavour to a lot of recipes, and it's easy to prepare. The basic principle is to make a small bundle of herbs, bind them in green leek leaves and to tie it up, so that the whole thing can be removed and discarded easily after cooking.

Hello Chef Eileen : Yes you're right, I'm french and a great fan of pommes reinettes. I don't know where you leave in the US, but if you are maybe in a not too hot state you can plant a reinette tree? (it's rather unexpensive here, and easy to buy).Good and yummy recipe of your crumble stuffed apple, maybe you could also try with almond cream?

Now, after reading your recipe Les Pommes au Four I must be convinced that you are French, so all the more exciting to become acquainted with your cuisine site. I was amazed at the peeling of your apples, and I adore, absolutely, reinettes. We don't have these in the US but I get an apple here, similar, the Stayman Winesap, a very old style apple similar to yours, but alas still not the same. I was dreaming of reinettes just last week. I make an apple recipe at my bed and breakfast which I made up after much street-wise study of the "crumble" in France. I simply wash the apples, dry well and core. Then I make a traditional crumble recipe using the demerrera sugar, flour and unsalted butter, however, I add a dash of sea salt also. I stuff the center of the apple with the crumble. Then I bake for 1 hour and serve with creme anglaise. I must say, that the peeling of the apple would assist in a more delicate consumption of the dish, but I also adore the color of the skin and believe it holds in the moisture of the apple while roasting, similar to the skin of the chicken. Happy Cooking!
