Honey Crisp Apples and Recipes

[Jeff Lebowski]

I dig em, but if I want a pear I'd much rather have a ripe, juicy Bartlett.

Apples schmapples. None of them can hold a candle to a fresh Japanese nashi. We have a nashi tree in our yard with three different varieties (early-, mid-, and late-fall) grafted on to a pear tree base.

Cool. I'm with Surfah, but that grafting job is cool.

I like the ol' Asian pear for what it is. But it isn't much of a pear (or an apple) to me. If I want a pear, I want a Bartlett. And if I want an apple I want a Honeycrisp or Granny Smith depending if I am in the mood for sweet or tart.

That's the whole point, man! Juiciness of a pear combined with the shape and texture of an apple.

I get that, but I am used to the soft, almost buttery and grainy texture of a ripe Bartlett pear so it throws me off. It's a texture thing.

So . . . how 'bout them honeycrisps!
