and RED!
The Red Delicious apple tree has provided quite a crop this year. The fruit is still coming in, providing plenty of crunchy sweet munching for the humans, as well as the deer.
Red delicious apples have traditionally been grown for eating fresh, out of hand. They are not prized as cooking apples. Despite that, I made a pretty darn good apple crisp with them last week!
Rouse the Spouse has enjoyed his new apple picking toy, I mean tool! It really does do the trick, reaching high up into the tree to gently grab and catch that perfectly ripe apple with no damage to the tree and no bruised fruit crashing to the ground.
He has been creating some fine cheese and fruit plates. We recently enjoyed an aged gouda and a creamy Amish blue with red delicious slices.
