Episode 26 - What's an Ashmead's Kernel Apple?

In today's episode we are talking about an old school heirloom apple variety that goes all the way back to the 18th century.

Boy do heirloom apples have some fun names! Today I am talking about the Ashmead’s Kernel apple, a highly flavored apple that can be sharp and tart. This apple is seeing a mini comeback as a beloved apple cider variety.

One reason apple like this one aren’t as common as they were many year ago is their appearance. It's not the uniform, perfect looking red apple that were pushed on us for years. But I think it’s a pretty apple. What about you?

Last week, I asked if you have had an Empire apple before and 67% of you said you have tried them before.
