"The pleasures of the apple are
not limited to
just taste. There is the beauty of all
seasons; In
the Spring you will see the delicate
blossoms, In the
Summer's heat you are shaded by the
green leaves and
in the Fall the air is filled with the
sweet smell of
the ripening fruit..The apple brings
joy in all
seasons and in many forms, but to truly
know the
apple is to taste it..My favorite
varieties of apples
are:
The McIntosh
apple is two-tone red and green. It is
crisp, juicy
and aromatic and grown mainly in the
Northeast and
Midwest from September to
February..McIntosh apples
are good for making applesauce, pies,
salads and the
very best-tasting eating apple. I love
them with a salt shaker and some good
cheese..yummy!
Another favorite apple of mine
is the Golden
Delicious..with its golden, mottled,
with rust
appearance, it has a sweet taste..The
Golden
Delicious apple is grown in all
available areas from
September to April..They are a good
eating apple and
are also great for salads, apple sauce
and preserves and jelly..
The Cortland
is red with a golden blush appearance.
It is sweet and
juicy with white flesh and are grown
mainly in the
Notheast from September to April. The
Cortland is a
good eating apple, baking apple,
excellant for
applesauce and salads.
The
Delicious apple is bright red in color
and is sweet, juicy and mild..It is
grown in all areas from September to
April and they are mainly used for
eating and for salads.
The Rome Beauty is red and
red striped. They are mild and juicy
and are grown in all areas from October
to April and are best when used for
baking, pies and applesauce.
