  • In this video I discuss the Appalachian language usage of the word fruit, how apples are typically preserved in the Appalachian Mountains, and the end of time.
    Granny called while I was filming, we thought you might want to hear our conversation so I left it in the video.

    My paternal grandpaw had a small apple orchard, and what apples that weren't used for fried pies,were stewed and put in the freezer,to be eaten all through the year. I remember my Momma would tell me when I was a kid,would you want to be caught doing something bad or be in a bad place,when the Lord comes back at the end of time .That's stayed with me through the years and it's been good to live by. I'm glad I stopped by once again to Celebrate Appalachia with you,Tipper. 🙂

I’m from the country in Virginia and so much of this is familiar to me and makes me feel at home again, but I have also learned new things from some of these videos. Both my parents have passed on and I miss them so bad, and of course my grandparents. We also played bluegrass gospel music. I’m a delivery driver for FedEx and I can hook my phone up to my speakers in my truck. When I am feeling stressed, just listening to these videos calms me and puts me back in a “happy place” lol.

    My granny used to keep a plate of fried apple and sweet potato pies on her table, for anyone stopping by. Mom's family call them shirt tall pies, since they were curved like a shirt tall.
    Looking for more good videos.
    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    My sweet mother-in-law taught me how to make applesauce. We used apples that left the red from the peels in the sauce so the applesauce was pink. She was generous with the sugar. I froze it so in the middle of winter, we had sweet and delicious applesauce. I have one grandson who always came to me when there was a rumor that the world was going to end. He was about ten at the time. Bless his sweet heart. I would tell him that I had heard it all my life and they had not been right yet. I told him the Bible says only God knows when it’s going to happen, and because He is in control, we don’t have to worry. That boy is 22 years old now and has moved on to adult worries like paying bills. He is still a sweet boy and calls me almost every day to chat about life and check on me. ❤️🙌

    Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, you've gone and done it again. You were talking about Apples and that brought back a memory that I had all but forgotten. When I was about 4 or 5 I learnt that those things hanging behind the kitchen wood stove were dried apples and I would go in from time to time and pull me one off the string, the ones at 5 year old's heigth. We would go back home about every weekend from Columbus to Webbville, KY. Mommy's Mom's house was where I was while pulling this dastardly deed. One weekend when we went back I saw these strings hanging that were so purty. They were red and I thought they were apples but unfortunately they were red peppers. I latched onto one then it latched onto me and boy my mouth was a burning. Mom and Grandma grabbed me and started daubbing my mouth with Lard. It tasted awful but it kept my mouth from blistering. I DIDN'T EVER GET BACK BEHIND THE STOVE AGAIN....
    It was nice hearing your Mom on the phone too. Thanks for another forgotten memory Tipper, much appreciated.
    Oh and yeah I heard that other phrase about End of Time too.

    My country girl fiancé still makes Apple Butter the old fashioned way every year, except for last. There were no apples on the trees. She and her Dad pick the apples, spends days peeling,(stains her hands green), and uses a big copper kettle. The immediate family, around 10 or so, takes turns stirring all day. Most folks don't appreciate the time effort and money that goes into their efforts. Canning jars and lids are expensive if they can be found at all.Huge amount of sugar too. Please,.. if anyone ever gives you anything canned, keep the jars to give back to them!

    My mom planted me an apple tree on the land my husband and I bought to build a house on. Now we have 3 kids and she passed away and my kids get to enjoy the delicious apples from the tree she planted. I have since planted about 8 more and I just received one in the mail to plant soon. I love apples. And two of kids eat one every single night before bed. I did can some last year sliced but usually just sauce and apple butter. Mostly I just like slicing one up and eating it. What’s your favorite apple? My grandma said hers was the big Fox River apples so I bought one of those and can’t wait to taste.

    My mama used to always remind us that we better live right the end of time is a coming. Although I was raised in the city my mama was a born and bred western NC mountain girl and daddy was from the hills of TN. Mama made apple sauce more than apple butter. She would buy apples from a man who came to town with a truck full of all kinds of produce. If you never had apple dumplings you cooked in a pot you don’t know what you’re missing. Mama made them like you would make chicken and dumplings on top of the stove I can smell them cooking as i say it.

    I love apples, too! One of my favorite snacks is to slice up an apple and smear some peanut butter on the slices. Another snack that a friend's mother would pack in her school lunch was a cored apple stuffed with peanut butter and raisins. As for the end of time, I don't remember hearing it spoken about very often in the '50's & '60's when I was very young. More than ever, I do believe the Lord will return soon. I wonder sometimes if we have a "built-in homing device" inside of our bodies that is feeling a pull for Christ's return and Heaven. Sorry, but I don't know how else to describe it. Thanks for another great video, Tipper.

    Being Baptist in Minnesota, it's not uncommon for end times to be mentioned, given the times we live in. Usually there's a smidge of bickering about signs and whether it's really a thousand years. You know how it goes. As for apples, that's a very fall thing. Many of the same things are made here, e.g., sauce, butter, pie, dried. I've never heard of sulfured apples though. Also, given that passage about the storm, we have significant storms/tornadoes in the summer. Watch out for green skies! Lastly, we're often treated to the northern lights here. More in the winter. Shimmering blues and greens to the north. Really beautiful. Sorry this is so long. Struck by how similar our lives are.

    My dear sweet aunt once became convinced the end had come for us all. Radio signal has never been very good around these mountains and often goes in and out with the passing of the clouds it seems. Apparently a radio had been left on in her house but had not been making any noise for quite some time. Suddenly the crystal clear notes of a trumpet pierced the silence sending my aunt flying outside into the yard where she began looking for the sky to part and for Jesus to take her home. We laugh when we recall that story.....but we’re both still watching that sky very closely!

    Yes to everything; I've heard "the end of time" all my life, I love apples, I have preserved them almost every way but using sulfur. John Parris' also has an article about the Wests of Haywood County sulfuring apples. They lived less than a mile from me. I wish I could have been there when they were doing it. Church homecomings in our area are full of apple stack cakes, which is the favorite cake of my daughter. My grandmother made the best fried apple pies you ever ate. My father and his brothers could not get enough of them. I have tried to grow some of the old apple trees but can't seem to do much good. When I got married there were a bunch of old apples on my husbands homeplace, I remember especially one called a Limber twig and another called Winter Banana that tasted a lot like a banana. I could talk all day about apples.

    I have heard references about the end of time as I grew up from time to time...... from scripture, sitting around casual chit- chat, sermons, even songs, some with a right perspective, and some not... but now in these times we live in , having become a believer in what God has to say in his word about end times ( and other important things too ) I sure sense the vital importance of knowing Him and the truth of what He says in the whole council of (reading myself) His Word ( from Genesis to Revelation) so to be ready for then .. also walk-wise now. I do remember times when some said the world was going to end on such and such a day or time.... As for apples, I love them any way you can fix them, although I've never tasted any done up with sulfur ? I bet Granny's corn bread was mighty tasty. :)

    My Great Grandfather would store apples through the winter in a pile of oak leaves on the shady side of the barn. My Granddad told me that they would keep through winter and the leaves would insulate them from freezing while keeping them dry and cool.

    Growing up in KY our Mom made fried apples , we had a small apple orchard on our farm so there was plenty of apples to share with neighbors, she would also dry them and make apple cobbler and fried pies, as kids we would sit. In the trees and eat apples until our teeth were on edge lol , thanks for sharing, bring back many good memories .

    Great job Tipper. I too am glad you left the Granny call in. A church close to home I often go to used to make apple butter to raise money. They too took turns stirring and someone always brought a silver dollar to put in the kettle to stir around on the bottom to keep the apples from sticking and scorching. Now as far as sulphured apples being good my Grandparents thought they were great but all I could taste was the sulphur. Yuck. The end times I've heard all my life and also have heard about the northern lights in KY. If memory serves me right that was right before WW2. I heard there was a lot of praying, crying, and repenting going on. I don't hear much preaching on end times now as I used to, but the internet is a wash in it so much that it has become unbelieveable to many because of so many false predictions.

    My late sister-in-law was deeply religious. Once when we were visiting her in Arkansas she and my brother-in-law wanted to take us to Devils Den State Park. Being the tease that I am, I asked her how she was going to explain to the Lord our whereabouts if he came back while we were in the Devils Den? Also, would there be any hope for any of us. Dried apples were about the only fruit that Pioneers could take with them on the trails west. Subsequently the most common desert was fried pies. I read the account of a woman who went west like that and she said when she got to Oregon she never wanted to look at another fried apple pie. I've eaten many varieties of apples but my favorite for cooking is the Jonathan apple which is raised here in the midwest. We raised our family in Waverly, Missouri which is famous for apples and peaches. There are still apple butter caldrons around that town that were used by several families to get together and make apple butter in the fall. After that it was time to butcher hogs and fill the smokehouse for the winter. That would be a good subject for you to cover, Tipper. Butcherin' hogs, Often a chore shared by several families. One of the sayings that you'll sometimes hear is, "You got a good scald on that." What that referred to was, if the water temperature was just right it was easy to scrape the hair off the hog. too hot or cold and scraping was a chore.

    Don't get me started on the end of time. I think about it often. When I was a child I was frightened by the idea. When I got a little older I was threatened by it. "You'd better give your life to Jesus right now. If the end of time came tonight you would go straight to hell!" As I reached mid-life I got into studying what the Bible said about the end of time and what time really was anyway. One verse convinced me of something.
    Revelation 1:8
    says “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” What does that mean? Why the beginning and the end? Well, in my opinion it means that the beginning and the end are the same. The beginning is the end. When God created everything there was no time. Time was not necessary in a perfect creation. It was all already there. Not need for God to create more, He had already created it all.
    In my opinion God started "time" when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. They were in a paradise but thought they could do better. God forced them out of the Garden of Eden but gave them a free spirit and left them to try to create their own paradise. But remember God had already created everything so even though they thought they were creating something new, they were were only picking their way through what God had already provided.
    So "time" is what God gave Adam and Eve and all of us to decide whether to choose His way or our own. The "end of time" is when we die. When we get to go back to where we started or are stuck with what we have created for ourselves. Where we are welcome back into the fold "as if it never even happened" to quote a TV commercial.
    Many, if not most people, think they have to strive to be a "success" in life. To do better than the average. To leave a legacy that proves that to coming generations. That when they die there is nothing to follow. They think they live on in memories, in books and recordings, in paintings and statues.
    I think that when I die time ceases to exist and that my past will no long be. The only things that I will take with me will be the things that God gave me to get me through life's journey. The only thing I leave behind is the good that God gave be to pass on to others I encountered on my way. I won't get credit for anything and won't need credit. I will have before me a table spread with everything God has created for me. And I truly believe that God created it all just for me. And you!
    Sorry! I get preachy sometimes!

    My aunt told a story of a terrible hail storm one summer's day, probably in the 1920's, that defoliated all the trees, beat down all the truck gardens and corn and hay fields and broke most of the window panes in the house I live in now with loaves of fresh baked bread floating in rain water in the kitchen. She said she and my grandmother
    thought the world was coming to an end. My home is in the piedmont hills west of Baltimore, Louisville, Carroll County, Maryland.

    I sure remember big tables laden, and usually a big bowl of home canned peaches or some "fruit, setting in the middle of the table. Apples were so plentiful at one time, they would still grow alongside the road from old forgotten homesteads. Most Appalachians really took that "Holy Bible" seriously, and the end of time was commonly mentioned in times past. Tent revivals were common, and that is where this expression was heard most, Some believe this terrible Covid is one of the pestilences mentioned in the Bible. Homestead Tessie has a channel, and she mentioned dreaming recently about the first seal being opened.

    Yes I love apples 🍎 😋 too. I make applesauce, in fact, I need to make some now. My mamma and daddy could make prize winning fried apple pies. Although, they converted from frying too baking the pies later in life. When I make applesauce , I put about 1/2 stick of real butter in , it adds really good flavor, but I do not add sugar of any kind. I've talked myself into making applesauce. Again I love your videos. I'm interested in a book you mentioned, I don't remember the name, but it was about different Appalachian medical treatments using yellowroot and many other wild grown plants and herbs. Can you provide the name and author of that book please. Thank you so much!!!

      Sure-I bet it was Folk Medicine in Southern Appalachia by Anthony Cavender. It's not really a book that tells you how to treat, but more of an overview of all sorts of things that were used medicinally.

    The authors of your books are probably not followers of Jesus. The very fact that the “end of times “was excluded from the books is evidence that Jesus is the One True God. Any other religion and it would have been included in the books. Jesus and His certain return is offensive to an unbelieving world. But Jesus will return and anyone no matter what you have done can be fully forgiven and receive the free gift of eternal life because Jesus died on the cross for our sins so we can stand before God unashamed.
