Apple Of The Week - Ida Red

29 January 2014



We have a new apple to add to our lovely range called the Ida Red.


Ida Reds were developed in Idaho and are a cross between the ‘Jonathan’ and‘Wagener’ apple.  They are sweetly tart, juicy and have a firm pale flesh that is often tinted rosy pink!


As they hold their shape so well, the are ideal for baking. They also make a lovely pink apple sauce. If you cook them with the skins on, you can strain them to achieve a lovely pink juice!


Apples are still in great supply for us and we have a new addition called the Ida Red. Our full range includes the classic Cox, delicious Red Pippin and Darcy Spice.
