September 25 Day 3 Subject - "Autumn Fruits"
This is the Honeycrisp apple and I was so excited to walk into our local market and see them piled up in the bin a week ago. The Honeycrisps have a short season, only available from mid-September through October. Like anything that doesn't last long, you really appreciate them while they last. These apples wouldn't win a beauty contest, but the taste is just delightful--clean, sweet, and almost icy crunch. And the Honeycrisp cider is equally delicious.
Re photo - I played a bit with Photoshop special effects, this one to make it look as though the apple was painted with watercolors using a dry brush. Fun.

ReplyDeletethose are my favorite apples, too. I'm always watching to see if the price drops anywhere close to the fuji's at the market.
ReplyDeleteThe weekend my daughter is getting married in Portland, the nursery close to her apartment has the "apple festival." They set up a table and you can stand in line forever and then get your turn at the many varieties of apples and pears. Then they set up huge bins in another area and you can buy your favorites. But let me tell you... the honeycrisps and other such are usually empty when I get there.
That apple sounds delicious, but I don't think we get them here unfortunately. I'm watching a programme about apple growing right now and they're mentioning ones eaten by Henry VIII. Shame I missed what they were called though.
ReplyDeleteHoneycrisps? I LOVE the name and I just bet they are the kind of apple I like to eat.
