Restaurants The best apple ever?
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 7:21 PM
The worst thing about late summer is the lack of good apples. But the harvest is underway and I'm looking forward to my daily consumption of Fuji apples. I still prefer the Fuji over the Honeycrisp, which has acquired a huge following in the last couple of years.
Now, there's a new apple --the SweeTango -- which is a cross between a Honeycrisp and a Zestar (never heard of it). It's not available in our area this year, but should be next. It's been in development 10 years. Maybe they'll change the name by the time it reaches us.
You can learn all about it on SweeTango's own website, where you'll also find this video:

If you act quickly, you can purchase SweeTango Apples at www.bountifulfruit.com (through one of the cooperative member's Web sites). Enjoy!

have you ever had Empire apples? I fell in love with them as a grad student in upstate new york. I have not been happy with the ones I've found in Kroger here, generally, but my dad brought some back from Jaemor last week and they are so delicious. Definitely my favorite apples.
