Hosui Asian Pear is the Fruit From Washington Fruit of the Month Order Selection for October
This Asian pear is sometimes referred to as a "pear apple" because it can be eaten as soon as it is picked. While no further ripening is necessary the Hosui also keeps well. Traditionally it has ranked at or near the top of its kind for flavor, extra juiciness, fine texture and good storage quality - great for special gatherings or every day eating. Monthly Care Package of Apples and Pears (also available in 9-month, 6-month and 3-month subscriptions).

Apple Harvest continues in the Kittitas Valley of Washington State, with a good crop of Fujis, Granny Smiths and Romes!

Quote of the Month: “Do not be afraid to go out on a limb...That's where the fruit is!” - Anonymous

There is inspiration in literature and art, in the works, words and letters of philosophers, playwrights, and poets. Fruit From Washington has gathered together selected quotations on such subjects as life, love, and truth, which are encapsulated within the metaphor of fruit and fruitfulness. We hope that you, too, will find inspiration in the words of Aristotle, Shakespeare, and others including Henry David Thoreau, American essayist, poet and naturalist who wrote in "Wild Apples":

To appreciate the wild and sharp flavors of these October fruits, it is necessary that you be breathing the sharp October or November air. What is sour in the house a bracing walk makes sweet. Some of these apples might be labeled, “To be eaten in the wind.” - Henry David Thoreau, Wild Apples. (Read More Fruitful Quotations on the new FruitFromWashington.com Literary Quotes Page!)

Classic Farm Series Postcards now available for your free i-card use! Ten farm scenes from days gone by are a welcome addition to Fruit From Washington's unique collection of digital i-cards. If you are nostalgic for the good old days of American agriculture, you will enjoy these reproductions of Curt Teich & Company and other popular farm series postcards including scenes of bucolic herds of dairy cows and flocks of sheep grazing in meadow lands, harvest of fruit, hop and grain crops, summer toil in the soil, and hillsides cloaked with orchard blooms. (Farm Series and other Fruit From Washington i-cards can be found on our Fun Stuff Menu!)

October
Featured Recipe

Everybody's Favorite Apple Pie

6-8 apples, pared, cored and sliced (we recommend our Jonagolds or Romes)
3/4 to 1 c. sugar
2 T. flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg (if desired)
Pastry for 9-inch 2 crust pie

Preheat oven to 400° F. Combine sugar, flour and spices. Mix with apples. Line 9-inch pie pan with pastry. Fill with apple mixture. Cover with top crust. Seal edges and cut slits for steam to escape. Bake for approx. 50 minutes or until done. Top a la mode, with vanilla ice cream (the way Grandma Barbara likes it) or serve with slices of extra sharp cheddar cheese (Grandpa Dee's favorite accompaniment).
