I spent a few hours picking apples in Harvard, MA last week at a great, organic apple orchard. Another benefit living in the surrounding area is the access to amazing locally grown produce. I was picking the apples for Apple Day at the Roslindale Farmer’s Market – it was a success!
There were two varieties that were ripe and my favorite is the Green Crisp, but I also picked a Blushing variety – both very good. I used them to make caramel apples, some were chocolate dipped and others were also dipped in nuts. I have never made caramel apples before but welcomed the new challenge, i have made caramel frequently in the past so i figured I could make it work. It was a fun first attempt and I may make a second as Halloween approaches.
If you are looking for a serene location to pick apples and enjoy a crisp fall day head to Harvard, Ma and check out Old Frog Pond Farm – it will provide you with a little peace and quiet and calm.
