It’s raining apples in Tasmania, and Matthew’s ready to make full use of the abundant harvest. He learns how to make cider and cooks an apple and blackberry shortcake for his visiting mum.

It’s a total sell-out, but at number-crunching time they discover they’ve made a meagre profit of $2.20 per hour!
