The British apple season is nearing its end, with a recommendation to stock up on unusual varieties from farmers' markets, farm shops, or pick-your-own orchards.
- British apple season begins to wind down towards the end of October.
- Unusual apple varieties are often found at farmers' markets, farm shops, or pick-your-own orchards.
- Stored correctly, apples can keep until Christmas.
The British apple season is set to conclude towards the end of October. Consumers who value less common apple varieties, which are often unavailable in supermarkets, are advised to stock up now.
Farmers' markets, farm shops, and pick-your-own orchards are suggested places to find varieties such as Charles Ross and Blenheim Orange fruits. To store apples, they should be dried well and kept in a single layer in a slatted crate, cardboard tray, or on open shelves in a cool, dry, and dark location. This method can help them last until Christmas.
What this means for you: If you wish to purchase unusual British apple varieties, now is a good time to do so before the season ends.
