I just 'discovered' Jazz Apples at my local grocery and am in love!! :love: I normally eat Gala, but I've been looking for a different flavor. I know to some, an apple is an apple..but, not to me. The flesh of the Jazz isn't as solid, but has a puckering effect(tho not as bad as a granny smith). Just thought I'd share it's goodness :-)

However, if I lived in a bigger city where the varieties are in abundance, I also love Pink Lady or Honeycrisp :-)

    Apples are definitely not apples...hehehe Jazz is a GREAT apple. Have you tried Pink Lady apples? Those are my personal favs!

    Thank you for sharing the goodness of the Jazz apples with us!

    Pink lady are really good. I typically am a gala apple person too cause I don't like the really tart apples unless I am cooking with them.

    What kind a apple is a Jazz apple? I used to work in an apple orchard and have never heard of it. Is is a sweet or tart apple? Can it be used in baking or is it better for eating? I love apples and am looking a new, tart eating apple to try as I am getting bored with eating Granny Smith and Braeburn all the time.

    I also love Honey Crisp apples. Honey Crisps were almost always our best seller at the orchard.

    Mindy, If you like Honeycrisp apples, you will love Sweet Tango apples. Developed by the University of Minnesota (which also developed the Honeycrisp) the Sweet Tango is a cross between the Honey Crisp and a Zestar. The result is a sweet tangy apple that isn't too tart. They are VERY hard to find, even in MN cuz they are a brand new variety. I tasted one once and was blown away. Haven't been able to find them since last fall. Check with growers in your area if anyone grows them where you live.
