We still have a few of the 2010 Bramleys for sale in the shop so we thought we'd share a favourite Bramley recipe with you.

Ingredients:



450g/1lb potatoes



4 small onions,



sliced into wedges



2 tbsp olive oil



450g/1lb (approx 3) Bramley apples, cored and sliced into wedges



lean pork steaks



1 tbsp fresh sage leaves or 1 tsp dried sage



Method:




1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/Fan 180ºC/400ºF/ Gas Mark 6.



2. Parboil the potatoes



3. Place the potatoes, onion and oil in a large roasting tray or dish. Toss together and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.



4. Remove from the oven, then stir in the Bramley slices and lay the pork steaks on top. Season and sprinkle over the sage and then return to the oven and bake for a further 20 minutes or until the pork is golden and the Bramleys and vegetables are tender.



5. Serve.

Chives





We often have a few plants for sale at the farm shop, they usually represent enormously good value for money, for example this week we have some pots of the herb chives at 50p a pot.
