hello autumn!
and hello apple pie picnics.
we have a wonderful selection for you to pick, this first weekend of autumn.
this is the beginning of the harvest for
cortland, spartan, mcgowen, jonagold, empire and sunrise fuji apples.
we are still picking our macintosh, silken and royal gala apples.
hello again to my favourite apple… cortland
it's my favourite because the taste is so intense...
appley, with a lovely, complex blend of tart and sweet.
cortlands taste like autumn. as a cheese lover, cortlands are the perfect ‘cracker’
to use under so many good cheeses. we are so lucky to have a wonderful cheese shop close by.
you really must drop by the mill street cheese market.

i love to bake and cortlands perform beautifully in tarts and pies especially.
you will need a partner in crime to pick. a first date perhaps? cortlands grow in clusters of twos,
and an extra set of hands catches the one that falls beside the one you pick.

spartan
a gorgeous sweet, mellow and very juicy dessert apple.
spartans are an excellent apple to enjoy fresh
and also to juice, or cook with.
cider makers love these!

sautéed with butter, and caramelized onions and topped with gorgonzola cheese
is a pretty dreamy, savoury dish.

mcgowen
almost a secret apple, mcgowens are sometimes called a macoun.
their wonderful sweet and rich flavour
along with a good crunch makes them irresistible.
oh and such a darling little apple with freckles!
jonagold
if you love a honeycrisp you will love these too!
they are crisp, juicy and sweet!
they are also a terrific apple to bake with.
empire
empires are such a brilliant apple…the best of a macintosh and red delicious.
you can use these in every apple recipe you can think of.
they transport well, so you can tuck one in your lunch box!
the perfect wholesome snack.
sunrise fuji
our baby trees have done exceptionally well this year.
an early ripening fuji variety, they are sweet, mild and juicy with a lovely crunch.
sunrise fujis are excellent for drying and juicing and also a fantastic storing apple too.
welcome autumn!
and this perfect apple picking weather!
i think it’s time to dig out our favourite apple recipes.
hello galettes, tarts, cakes, pies, sauces...
see you soon!
