Autumn delight....
Ingrid Maries grow ripe at late October and shall preferably be picked after a frosty night or two. A n apple with a herald from the Danish island of Fyn. The story tells about the one seedling from a Cox Orange taking root amongst the raspberry bushes a hundred years ago. T his year our single tree has produced a bumper harvest and I'm preparing goodie-baskets for family and friends, to bring home after tomorrow's brunch. T his juicy apple tastes it's best at Christmas but may, when stored suitably, preserve well until April. XX Ia xx
