October is Apple Month!
Did you know that there are around 100 varieties of apples grown commercially in the United States? Only 15 varieties of apples make up the majority of apple productions. Ever wondered about which apple to use for which recipe or when apples are in season? Check out this Apple Variety Guide from the U.S. Apple Association at http://www.usapple.org/PDF/USApple_VarietyGuide.pdf.
To preserve that bountiful apple harvest, see Preserving Apples at www.bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/MF1187.PDF.
