Baking apples with waste heat
Details
With the recent installation of the chimney oven we have been looking for things to bake and roast. The last of the granny smith apples chopped, drizzled with honey, a scattering of frozen blackberries and a splash of water. Fantastic.

Harvest
Braeburn Apple
Details
This New Zealand apple is now one the world’s top commercial selections. It has delicious, crisp, juicy flesh and superb sweet-tart flavour with a noticeably aromatic aftertaste. Excellent keeper. Late season. Requires 700 chilling hours to set fruit. Spur bearing.
Located in a damp spot and surrounded by twitch grass, the ground under tree has proven more difficult to control. Currently there is rhubarb, chives, strawberry and some self sown mustards.... and quite a bit of grass.

Last of the apples
Details
The last 2 apple trees are now ready for picking. For some reason, these are some of the cleanest apples we have had this year.
Both of these trees have been improved with supporting / companion plants such as bulbs, foxgloves, lupins and strawberries.

Apple - Discovery scion / bud wood
Details
The Discovery apple is a well-regarded early-season variety in New Zealand. It originated in the United Kingdom, believed to be a cross between Worcester Pearmain and possibly Beauty of Bath. Its popularity in New Zealand lies in its vibrant colour, sweet-tart flavour, and early harvest.
Characteristics:
- Appearance: Small to medium-sized with a bright red blush over a yellow-green background. Occasionally, the red can dominate depending on growing conditions.
- Flesh: Crisp, white to pale cream-coloured, often tinged pink near the skin if exposed to sunlight.
- Taste: Sweet and tangy with a refreshing flavour, making it ideal for eating fresh. Its flavour can be more pronounced when freshly picked.
- Seasonality: As one of the earliest apples to ripen, it is typically available in mid to late summer in New Zealand.
- Uses: Best enjoyed as a fresh eating apple but can also be used in salads or light cooking.
The Discovery apple is appreciated for its vibrant appearance and refreshing taste, especially when consumed shortly after harvest. However, it has a relatively short shelf life compared to later-season varieties.
