APPLES FOR THE WEEKEND OF October 4-5:
BIG BEN™ – We are selectively starting to pick our Big Ben™ apples. Thanks to Grandma Ruth Baker this is our signature apple, found only at Baker Orchard! HUGE, crisp, slightly tart, excellent keeper!
CORTLAND – Flavorful, sweet to tart, eating and baking.
HONEYCRISP™ – Sweet, crisp, great keeper
McINTOSH – Slightly tart and juicy. Classic eating & baking – great for sauce and apple butter.
SWEET SIXTEEN – Uniquely sweet and candy-like. Great for eating.
And…CIDER – by the gallon! (Hint: freeze an extra gallon to take out in the middle of winter or make cider ice cubes to easily flavor beverages, soups, pulled pork, sauteed meats and veggies – YUM!)
