The Great Apple Challenge of '08 - Day 3
The apple of the day is Jazz. Feel free to sing the name as though you were on a stage showing off your mad jazz hand skills. That's how I do it, or at the very least how I think it in my head!On most occasions I cut up apples for our lunches the night before. It's just much easier to have everything ready in the mornings instead of running around trying to get dressed and ready, have some breakfast and on top of it get lunches together. The first thing I noticed about the Jazz apple this morning when I took it out of the fridge to put in my lunchbag was that it had turned quite brown. I'm actually not used to my apples turning this brown over night. Sure, they get a little darker, but not by much. In fact the Honeycrisp barely changes color at all (it's the PERFECT apple, I tell ya).
Dark color aside the Jazz apple is a very lovely one. It has a very interesting taste that actually reminds me more of a pear or plum than an apple. It tastes fruity. Granted apples are fruit, but the Jazz tastes more like fruit than an apple. Go figure. Initially it has a very sweet taste, but eventually leaves you with a kiss of tart.
Shawn says they're "not as crisp" as he normally likes "but not as mealy as a Red Delicious", which I agree with completely. If only it were a little more crisp and crunchy it would be right up there with the Honesycrisp.
From both Shawn and I this apple gets two thumbs up!
