What's Picking September 22/23

21/9/2018

As the season progresses, some varieties finish and give way to others. Those who fell in love with Ginger Gold and Wealthy may find a few left in the trees but both varieties have been thoroughly picked. Not to worry; we have a few new additions to the picking list. Here's a look at what will be ready for this coming weekend:
  • Honeycrisp: The season's most anticipated apple is finally here! Large, crunchy and busting with sweet juice, Honeycrisp might make you forget there are other apples in the orchard.
  • Gala: At their peak, make sure to get your Gala picked this week or next. 
  • McIntosh: Ontario's apple! Now more sweet than tart, we still have a few rows of Macs available. 
  • Blondee: Similar to a Ginger Gold in appearance, but with more complex flavour and slightly more crunch, this sweet yellow apple is an up-and-comer. Try one this weekend!
  • Cortland: The classic choice for salads and sliced for lunches (because it is slow to brown) these sweet/tart apples are extra large this year. An excellent choice for baking.
  • Spartan: Possibly the best baking variety currently available, Spartan will maintain a slight crunch when cooked and the subtle tang mellows with heat. For sauce, try cooking with skins on and puree for a deep redish-brown colour.

Keep an eye out for updates on Macoun and Empire as they will be ready soon!
