We still have many harvested 'Enterprise' and 'GoldRush' apples
for sale now and for the next 5 months or more, until late June or early July.
'Enterprise' apples are sweet-tart, crisp and juicy, great for
fresh eating and for making pies, applesauce, apple butter, etc.
They keep well in a refrigerator for 6 to 7 months. 'GoldRush'
apples keep well in a refrigerator for 8 to 10 months, and have gotten
sweeter now in cold storage, as starches
convert into sugars.

We have many harvested 2nds apples, with small cracks or hail damage, great for
baking or for making applesauce or apple butter. Usually 95% to 98% of
the fruit is still usable, but they're 70% the cost. Many recipes featuring apples and pecans are posted as Notes on our
Facebook page, Brendas Berries.
We're now selling our last and largest pecan variety, 'Pawnee'. We'll have cracked pecans
for sale until we sell out, probably till late Feb. or early March. Apple and pecan prices
are detailed in the Dec. 19 blog post (scroll down 2 posts).
