This will be the first of a lot of apples that will be in the shares through the remainder of the season. The beauty of them though is that they will last for a good long time in the crisper box of the refrigerator. Last year, Lisa and I were still eating apples from our shares in February. Just keep putting the newest apples in the very back so you eat the oldest first. This variety, Zestar, is crisp and tart with a really nice green apple flavor.
