Apple Season Once Again

We have arrived at the glorious time of year when the apples are in season for our farm box deliveries. This past Thursday we had three different varieties delivered:

The wonderful thing was that each one of these examples were some of the best examples I've experienced of them.

The first one, on the left, is an Arkansas Black; the middle they called a Jazz Apple; and the third, the oddly shaped pale apple on the right, is the French classic Calville Blanc.

Both the Arkansas Black and Calville Blanc were quite dense, far denser than most apples available to the American public.

The Jazz apple was crisp and tart and juicy, reminiscent of the fantastic Honey Crisp.
