A TO Z CHALLLENGE: LETTER A






Some of the things found in the world today actually have been around for quite some time. Here's a look at some foods that have been around since the 1800's.  Did YOU know when these items were created?


Ash-pone

ASH-PONE: A coarse corn bread baked in ashes,


APPLE BUTTER: Spiced apple juice and pulp, cooked to a buttery consistency.



















Blurb: Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the next STORY CATCHER.

    I have tried apple butter before- it was made with cinnamon. I had it with cornbread (not coarse corn bread though) and it was quite delicious.

    I'd never heard of ash pone before, but apple butter, yes. In fact, I've even made it, although it's been a while since those days. Thanks for posting. Drop by and visit me, if you'd like.

    I love apple butter better than jelly-really good on hot, right out of the oven biscuits. The ash pone-never heard of it.

    Ash-pone... is it like cornpone, except for being cooked in the ashes? Sounds like a Southern creation...

    Uh the Ash Pone kind of looks like frozen raw meat to me. Variety I guess? Apple butter sounds delicious. Wonder how it tastes on toast? I imagine it's heavenly.

      Hi Sheena-kay! Yeah, the ash pone didn't look appealing to me at all...lol. I've had apple butter before and you're right, it does taste wonderful...;-)

    Hi, Donna, thanks for the invite! I love apples, but don't care for apple butter or apple sauce. Don't know why? Ash Pone, doesn't look good at all. Hmmm...

    Happy A to Z!
