Apples in a basket.
Firm apples are needed for the Apple Brown Betty. Cooking and eating apples were both used in cooked dishes. Eating apples stay firm when cooked and are sweeter. Cooking apples become soft when cooked but need more sugar as they can be quite sharp.

Butter was stored in the cool pantry. Pieces were cut and brought into the kitchen area as they were needed. Butter was often salted to help to keep it fresh. The salt could be washed out of it or fresh butter could be used which had not yet been salted.
