We Like Them Apples

All apples are not created equal. In the case of the Ambrosia, the
variety is a chance seedling whose parentage is not 100 per cent known
and was discovered by a B.C. family on their orchard in the 1990s. Famed
for its sweetness, versatility and beauty (pink blush on the outside and
slow to turn brown), the B.C.
Tree Fruits apple can be used in a variety of dishes. Former
Calgarian, chef
Ned Bell, shared a recipe thats perfect for cold winter nights.
