I heart U of Minnesota in a fruity way
Oct. 28th, 2009 08:08 pmHoneycrisp® apples are great. I just finished a ripe one.
Now I feel vindicated. I just found out that one of my favorite apples is the "mother" of this apple. Yes, the apple that nobody has ever heard of but me, the crispest, most delicious apple that only is in season (gets mushy quickly) for one month in New England, the mother of the incredible Honeycrisp® apple, the Macoun.
Of the Macoun: "The skin is a dark red with a purplish flush. Its very firm flesh is juicy and snow white, tasting sweet with a hint of berry."
