Its still early season for apples and so the early growing varieties such as Laxton Fortunes & Merton Worcesters are still eating really well (the Discoveries are finished now) - Laxtons are therefore our "bulk buy" option. Coxes, will begin next week.
And we have the first Russet Apples in this week - the Princess variety. Russet Apples are generally harder to find nowadays: their lack of shine & crunch make for a less pretty apple, eschewed by today's shallow eyes. But they have a density and moistness that other varieties dont, so please do try them...!
Finally on fruit, we have the first of the Medlars - another almost forgotten fruit that you will need to buy, and retain in a cool dark corner, until the flies are almost circling above them before you cook or turn to jelly...!
