You've heard about them, you've seen them advertised in the newspaper, well.... they are here!!!
Ice Apples!
If you've never heard of them, the blog, my northwestexperience.blogspot.com has this to say about them:
"Technically they are your basic Fuji apple, very sweet with good crunch. What makes these different is they are picked during the last days of October - the last of the season - and leaving them on the tree a little longer, allowing the center of the apples to crystallize a bit, leaving a pocket of juiciness in the center. This makes the entire apple just a bit sweeter."
Check out this You Tube video and article about ice apples if you' ve never heard about them!
Come try them and see what you think!
To find them in the orchard, look for the 3 rows labeled Fuji, and walk 3/4 of the way down to the far end. The trees are loaded down at the end!
We also have:
Pink Lady
Braeburn
Gold Rush
Granny Smith
Still all nice and crisp!
There are also some Golden Delicious and Red Delicious out there but getting on the softer side.
Golden Delicious would still be fine for cooking though.
Remember this is our last weekend officially open! After this weekend, it will be self-serve until I post otherwise. Just pay at the office when you leave.
Thanks!
