Healthy Candy Apple Wedges Healthy Candy Apple Wedges Can’t get enough chocolate? Try this recipe for your daily fix. Use dark chocolate (which has fewer calories than milk chocolate and offers a healthy dose of antioxidants) and sprinkle with toasted walnuts. Ingredients: ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice or apple cider vinegar 2 medium apples, washed (I used Granny Smith because I like their tart flavor) 3 oz (85 g) good-quality dark chocolate, chopped 2 tablespoons toasted walnuts, chopped Directions: 1. Add the lemon juice or vinegar to a medium bowl and fill the bowl ⅔ full with cold water; set aside for now. 2. Core and quarter the apples; cut each quarter into 2 wedges so you end up with 8 wedges from each apple. Transfer the apple wedges to the lemon juice/water mix- ture to soak while you melt the chocolate and prepare the walnuts. 3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Finely chop the walnuts and place them in a small dish. 4. Line a baking tray with wax paper and have it ready to place the apple wedges on. 5. Drain the apple wedges, and pat them dry with paper towels. Working with 1 apple wedge at a time, dip it in the chocolate (or drizzle the chocolate on top), and then sprinkle on some walnut. Place the wedge onto the prepared tray. Continue this way until all the apple wedges are coated. 6. Transfer the tray to the fridge so the chocolate can harden; serve. 7. Serve these within a couple hours of making them to help keep the apples from oxidizing. .

  • Chicago Department of Transportation Roadway Plant List
    CHICAGOCHICAGO DEPARTMENTDEPARTMENT OFOF TRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION Richard M. Daley, Mayor Thomas H. Powers ROADWAYROADWAY PLANTPLANT LISTLIST Acting Commissioner Compiled by DIVISION OF ENGINEERING TH 7 Edition HISTORIC GARFIELD BOULEVARD CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ROADWAY PLANT LIST The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Division of Engineering is pleased to present the newest edition of the City of Chicago’s Roadway Plant List, intended as a resource for landscape architects. CDOT has evaluated the plants on this list based on its years of experience maintaining medians and other roadside locations. The accompanying comments are based on the plants’ ability to withstand salt spray and other urban roadway conditions. Although no scientific trials were conducted, installation and maintenance of the plant material have been done in accordance with standard CDOT specifications. As a result, cultural conditions such as soil structure, composition and moisture are known factors. CDOT’s list highlights plant materials in order of consideration. Dark gray rows indicate plants that are not recommended. Light gray rows include plant materials that are currently under evaluation or have not yet been used. It also indicates plant selections which survive in the roadway but have attributes which negatively affect the plant’s performance in a municipal application. Although the “concerns” are independent of CDOT’s assessment of the plants’ sustenance in the roadway, CDOT expects selections to consist of plants that both survive on medians and have no additional concerns. We hope this guide proves a valuable tool for industry professionals. For more information, please contact CDOT’s Division of Engineering at (312) 744-3520.

    CANDY APPLES, FULLY Edited by Amy Bowen and Christine Pittman Candy Apples, Fully hen The Cookful launched last month our first topic was WPopcorn. One of the things we wrote about was Classic Popcorn Balls. Do you remember? I was a bit afraid going into that whole thing because it involved candy-making. I didn’t even own a candy thermometer back then. Well, now I own one but I was still a bit terrified to take on our newest topic, Candy Apples. Why the fear? It was that candy apples involve quite a bit of candy-making. I cringed and got out my handy-dandy candy thermometer. The cringe wasn’t necessary though. Turns out, candy apples are a breeze to make. Super-easy and they don’t take long either. So don’t let your fear of hot sugar stop you from taking this on. You’ve got this. And if you’re unsure about anything, don’t worry. We’re here to help you with every single step, from making basic bright red candy-coated apples, to homemade caramel apples, to unique toppings - we’ve gotcha. We even have a comparison between homemade coatings and store- bought ones so you’ll know whether it’s worth it to buy or to make. What else? Tips galore and ideas of things you can use as sticks. Oh, and some really unique and wacky candy apple recipes too.

These fungal diseases are scab and two Gymnosporangium rusts (cedar-apple rust and cedar-hawthorn rust). A bacterial disease called fire blight is considered to be an occasional problem. However, when this disease occurs, it can be very damaging. The occurrence and severity of these diseases are influenced by many factors, including the level of infection and amount of overwintering inoculum from the previous year, the weather at the time of leaf Figure 1.

  • How to Make Candy Apples with Honey (No Corn Syrup!)
    How to Make Candy Apples with Honey (No Corn Syrup!) Text and photos © Alice Alfonsi who writes The Coffeehouse Mysteries as Cleo Coyle with her husband, Marc Cerasini Candy apples have been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl, but they make a nice novelty dessert for adult parties, too. In fact, my readers may recall the gourmet “baby billionaire’ candy apples that were served to my amateur sleuth, Clare Cosi, at an exclusive club in my Coffeehouse Mystery Billionaire Blend. For this recipe, I experimented with some favorite ingredients, which is why there is no corn syrup. Instead, I used honey for better flavor. I’m also sharing a fun, spiked version of my recipe that swaps cinnamon sticks for cinnamon schnapps. Whether you prefer your apples with spirits or without, may these little treats bring back a joyful taste of childhood! ~ Cleo Coyle Makes about 8 small or 6 medium to large apples You will need: * Wax paper or parchment paper * Non-stick cooking spray * Non-stick medium size saucepan * Wooden spoon or silicone spatula (one for high-heat cooking) * Wooden skewers or Popsicle/Craft Sticks or Chopsticks * (Optional) A candy thermometer; it's optional because I often make these without a thermometer; so if you don’t have one, just follow my tips for knowing when the candy is done cooking. Ingredients: 8 small or 6 medium (to large) unwaxed apples (If your apples have wax on them, the candy will not stick! But you can de-wax apples easily. See how in the directions.) 2/3 cup water 1 tablespoon honey 2 cinnamon sticks (or a few more, but do not use ground, it will cloud the mixture) Free Recipe Guide to 2-1 /2 cups white, granulated sugar Cleo’s new culinary mystery 1/4 teaspoon + 4 or 5 extra drops red food coloring Shot in the Dark: Cleo’s tips on choosing apples: In my photos you see small, organic Fuji apples.
