Now that the apple season is well under way I thought I would sing the praises of this wonderful variety of apple: Worcester Pearmain. Worcester Pearmain is an early season English apple, originating from Worcester in the 1870s. Apparently it is renowned for it's strawberry flavour. I could not really vouch for that quality - these apples were sweet but not cloying and were wonderfully perfumed but strawberry tasting?. They made the best juice - blushing and quite unlike the poor imitations of apple juice you get in the supermarkets.
Apparently it is coming back into favour and is being stocked by the supermarkets. Quite rightly so but really if you are honest there is nothing better than some apples from your own garden or of a generous provider. This along with a russet would be my apple of choice.
