Crunchy Braeburn Apples At Hobbs Family Partnership Orchard

The Braeburn Apple was first discovered in 1952.
It is believed to be a cross between a Granny Smith and Lady Hamilton.
The apple itself is named after Braeburn Orchard where it was first commercially grown.

More Bottling!!

Ruby’s been on another bottling spree (she definately takes after Mum!)!
She found some empty jars in the storage shed so for the past few days she and our friend Anne have been bottling every spare piece of fruit they could get their hands on.

They had an absolute ball!!

Here’s a photo of the result:

The Golden Delicious Apple is a wonderful old cooking Apple.
It’s great for bottling, saucing, stewing and pretty much anything you need a cooking Apple for!
