I have spent the last 2 hours reading your newsletter and wonderful recipes. I have already printed a whole bunch I want to try. I love them because they are using ingredients one has on hand. I love that and just wanted you to know how much we appreciate all your hard work in putting together this newsletter. Thank you very much.

The Apple Basket
by Alice Osborne

Each variety of apple has a slightly different flavor, from sweet, to tart, to bitter, to�ummmm--just right!

Textures also vary amongst apple varieties, from soft and mushy, to firm and crunchy.

Because there are so many different varieties of apple, each with slightly different qualities than the next, producers grow different types of apples for different purposes.

Some apples, like the Empire, are sweet and wonderful when eaten fresh (in fact, of all the cultivated apples grown, over half are eaten fresh).

Other apple varieties are better suited for cooking or further processing. The Rome Beauty, for example, is often used for baking and not eaten fresh because it has a firm, acidic flesh, and tough, smooth skin. Questions about cooking apples?...
