Only 2 weeks left to place Fuji apple order

 

Have you ordered your Fuji apples yet? There are 2 weeks left! $50 for 40 lbs of apples is a heckuva deal AND you'll be helping out kids with Type 1 diabetes at Camp LEO, as well as our own North Kitsap HS LEO students.

The sweet flavor and firm texture of Fuji apples make them suitable for a wide variety of culinary applications.

Fresh eating: They are an excellent choice for fresh eating and snacking due to their sweet taste and satisfying crunch.

Salads: Their firm flesh holds up well when sliced, making them a great addition to green salads or coleslaw.

Baking: Fuji apples are well-suited for baking in pies, tarts, and crisps, as they maintain their shape when cooked.

Applesauce: Because of their natural sweetness, applesauce made with Fuji apples may require little or no added sugar.

Other applications: They can also be used for juicing, roasting, or creating savory dishes like roasted pork.

Please email Karl Ostheller at kostheller@comcast.net by Oct. 12 to place your order. Delivery is included!
