30. Winnow

A friend recently sent an e-mail to everyone on her address list with the following apology:

"I'm sending this to everyone in my e-address book, without taking time to winnow. My apologies if you have no idea who I am or have no need for the following information."

Can you use 'winnow' in a sentence that relates to the picture below.
 
Winnow: to separate or distinguish

    I will use the blemished apples that have been winnowed out to make apple jam. Delish!
