Commentaires : In the fall both men and women would attend apple-paring bees where apples were peeled, cut, threaded on strings and hung to dry. In the winter these dried apples would be boiled and used in pies and tarts. The book 'Adventures in Canada' (by John C. Geikie, Philadelphia, n.d.) explains that 'when wanted for use, a little boiling makes [the dried apples] swell to their original size again, and brings back their softness'.

Canadian settlers learned a great deal from the Indians about food, including how to grow and preserve corn. Corn was dried and powdered, and was usually taken on long journeys, to be eaten either in powdered form or mixed with water or broth to make a porridge.
