Then yesterday I was driving in a country-type area and found a road lined with the trees and the ground covered in hedge apples! I pulled over and picked up a dozen or so of them. They're big, like softballs, and heavy. These were frozen solid, so they didn't have any smell until today when they finally thawed out. They smell citrusy and I love it.
I pulled out my Booma's (grandmother's) punch bowl (also a suggestion of Nicole's) and piled them in it. It is a big, cool centerpiece. I think it'll be perfect for Thanksgiving!

I have never heard of hedge apples either. I'll have to keep my eyes open next time we go out for a walk in the woods. After hunting season, of course.
How funny! I went to Nicci's on Thursday night and saw the same apples in your picture. I was like, do you know Carla B. because she has the exact same thing on her table and said that she got the idea from a friend named Nicole. Small world, well not really.:)
