  1. APPLES

  2. The APPLE is the most important and widely grown fruit in the temperate climates of the world. It has been cultivated for over 3000 years. APPLES were highly valued for their keeping qualities and until refrigeration and other modern storage methods APPLES were almost the only fresh fruit available during the winter. APPLES were probably introduced into Britain from Europe. Settlers took them to America and Australia, and later, seedlings of new varieties were sent back to Britain.

  3. During the 19th century, amateur and professional growers developed many new varieties of apples. The most famous English dessert apple is probably Cox’s Orange Pippin. It was developed in the 1850s. This apple was of exceptional quality with a sweet, crisp flesh and a strong, aromatic skin.

  4. Apples have a low vitamin C content but are full of fibre. They are one of the most popular and versatile fruits. As well as looking colourful in the fruit bowl, and, served raw, as an enjoyable sweet, apples can be cooked in many different ways to produce a huge variety of desserts. Apples can accompany meat and cheese dishes and they can be baked, stewed, fried, puréed, cooked in pastry or used as a garnish. They can be preserved as jelly, jam, pickles, chutney and dried apple rings. Certain varieties are used to make CIDER and apple wine. Cooking apples are rich in pectin and are useful in making jam because they can be combined with fruits low in pectin which helps the jam to set.
