Christmas Selection
7 dried allotment apples (harvested 2012), 2 home grown dried chillies (2012), 1 dried rose flower (2013) & a sort of old brush thing (possibly 20th century)
These apples are also disasters as they were meant to be kept fresh over winter in the cellar wrapped in newspaper but after a couple of months they became quite shrivelled and eventually turned into the fruit based meteorites seen above. Unsuccessful as food but fascinating little objet d'art, and as you say a good source of penicillin.
I tried drying some fruits this year. Huge disaster. I "grew" some penicillin. Ha!
