Witch Finger and Cotton Candy Grapes




Have I ever mentioned that I love grocery shopping? I love shopping for ingredients and finding unique goodies along the way. I came across these Witch Finger and Cotton Candy grapes and was amazed.

Witch Fingers are sweeter than your typical red grape and are oblong in shape. These grapes would look very attractive on a cheese platter, or even a Halloween themed one.

When I sampled Cotton Candy grapes, I was delighted. I popped it in my mouth, closed my eyes, and couldn't believe how much it tasted like cotton candy! The grapes were candy-sweet and juicy. For a refreshing treat on a hot day, I enjoy them frozen.

Have you discovered any new exciting produce lately?

Side note: Cotton Candy & Witch Finger grapes are sustainably grown and non-GMO.

Pink Pearl Apple



Your eyes are not deceiving you, this really is a pink and very adorable apple.
The Pink Pearl Apple was developed in Northern California by Albert Etter in 1944.
It gets its bright rosy pink color by being cultivated from an older, similarly colored apple, called The Surprise.
The flavor of a Pink Pearl is sweet, lightly tart with melon undertones. The texture is crisp and crunchy. I could see this brighten up a brunch fruit platter, be served at a baby shower, and be given as a gift to dinner party guests. 


*You can find Pink Pearl Apples at Milk Pail Market or your local farmers' market
