Ugly but FLAVORFUL Greening
Yes, this not-so-pretty apple is thoroughly green! As it ripens in October, the skin is green with a slight yellow tinge and the flesh is a greenish white. But the distinctive, juicy, tart apple has an excellent flavor and is good for both eating and baking. The apple is called a Rhode Island Greening and has been planted in this country since the mid-seventeenth century. This apple stores well for several months but I am preparing slices of the apple for drying. When the drying rack is filled, I will place it in the slack bake oven overnight.

What shape is the drying rack and what is it made of?

The drying racks were made from poplar. Drying racks are made typically in three parts. The floor of the oven is the footprint for the shape of the racks. Mine are made to fit through the oven door and one for the right side, the left side and the center.
