We were out and about today...stopped by the orchard. I was on a mission...hoping to find Jonalicious apples. Roger had never tasted one but had heard me talk of them. He has a new favorite apple now! They are simply wonderful...sweet and tart and the juice just runs! Not supposed to be good for baking, but who cares. They are just a wonderful eating apple. And yes, they are a cross between a Jonathan and a Red Delicious apple. And no, I don't like Red Delicious...even when I worked at the orchard, I could not eat them. If I was test tasting them, I took a bite to see if the sugar was coming in to them, but spit it out, most of the time. And if I wanted an apple to eat, I would get down and go find another variety.
We'll be sure to be on the lookout for some Jonalicious apples. I hope we find some.
ReplyDeleteThey look very inviting.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these, we will have to try them!
ReplyDeleteyummy....my favorite apples for eating are gala apples, it's apple pickin' time!!
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy, I've not heard of this type before - I wonder if we get them here. I must have a look next time I am shopping. I hate when I try an apple and there's no taste to it. Can't remember the last time I had a nice apple.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE apples but just like you I am not fond od Red Delicious. Hmmmm. I have never heard of Jonalicious before!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful apples. I've never tasted one either. I'll have to look for them the next time I visit our apple growing orchard are near here.
