Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Comparing Apples and...Other Apples " Malus the Appyll tree is a tree yt bereth apples and is a grete tree, " wrote Wynken de Worde, an Englishman, in the 15th century. " Some beryth sourysh fruit and harde and some ryght soure and some ryght swete, with a good savoure and mery. " We wouldn't put our money on Wynken in a spelling bee, but he knew his apples. Do you? Braeburn. A firm, crisp and aromatic apple, with a blend of tart and sweet flavors - a superb snack choice. Cortland. Crisp and full-flavored; excellent for eating fresh and for baking. Empire. A fine all-purpose apple, good for eating fresh, baking in pies and crisps. To freeze for later use in baked desserts, peel, slice, toss with lemon juice and pack into freezer bags. Fuji. Sweet, crisp and juicy, these apples are great for eating fresh and baking. Gala. Fresh and flavorful. Just the right size to slip into a lunch bag or pocket, they make for a great quick snack. Golden Delicious. Mild-flavored when eaten fresh; slices retain their shapes when cooked. Granny Smith. Tart and crisp; delicious baked or sautéed. Jonathan. Rich-flavored; slices hold their shapes when cooked. McIntosh. A top choice for applesauce. Though it's too soft for most pies, some bakers add one or two for the wonderful aroma they release. Mutsu. Juicy and sweet; good for baking and freezing. Northern Spy. Tart and full-flavored; excellent in baked apple desserts. Red Delicious. America's most popular snacking apple. Rome Beauty. A good choice for baking. Winesap. Spicy, aromatic flavor; good for eating and baking. ===== Language is an expression of thought.
