Our Rappahannock apples are in! Grimes Golden, Golden Delicious and Red Delicious will be in this week and available for two or three weeks after the first picking. Then Yorks and Stayman around the first of October followed by Winesap and Rome Beauty.
When buying apples look for bright fresh-looking apples. The green “ground color" or background color, when visible on varieties that are not a solid red, should be a yellow-green. If the apple has too green a ground color, it will be immature, hard and have a poor, starchy flavor. If over ripe, the apple will have too yellow a ground color and will be poor in flavor with a soft mealy texture.
Always check the skins; they should be smooth and reasonably bruise free. Apples with surface russeting (brownish roughened area on skin) make good eating fruit and may be less expensive.
To store, keep apples refrigerated. Serve them cold or at room temperature, but keep the reserve supply refrigerated. The bottom drawers of your refrigerator are ideal, recommends local orchardist, Ned Johnson.
Everyone has a favorite apple pie, coffee cake or dessert recipe but apples can be used in main dishes also. Chicken Curry is one of my favorites, especially on a cool fall evening.
