Apple Time: Gold Rush and My Other Favorite Varieties
The Farmer's Market we shop at is winding down its growing season. We buy a lot of apples, and our favorite variety is the Gold Rush which I read was developed from the Yellow Delicious back in the 1970s. Gold Rush also keep for long periods while kept in cold storage. At the end of last summer we bought a bunch of them to eat well into the autumn. It's a little late now in the summer for Gold Rush, but we have two other favorite apple varieties out now: Blondee and Honeycrisp (a sweet red apple). I remember we used to buy only Red Delicious and Yellow Delicious at the grocery store. Now there are many varieties offered for sale, a good thing for the consumers.
