They do indeed look like the apples which would tempt Snow White, and the vibrant colour is superbly retained upon cooking or baking. The flesh is a vivid mix of red and magenta, so striking that my children reacted with suspicion when I offered them a bite. They are called Red Love apples and they are a variety which have been cultivated in Switzerland with a small local production. So you can imagine his surprise when I came home one day with a huge bag of the most expensive apples from the high-end department store on Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich.īy chance, I came across these amazingly red apples at Jelmoli and, like a red lipstick tempting me from the Tom Ford counter, I couldn’t resist these beauties. Sometimes they are nice varieties like Braeburn or Pink Lady, sometimes they are varieties I have never heard of. Given the quantity of compote which we consume at home, my husband likes to buy the big bags of discounted apples at the supermarket. Oddly enough, when our children were born, my husband took over the role of making the weekly compote, something which he continues to do until this day, except that the “weekly” compote is often consumed in less than a week the children love it so much that it also frequently makes an appearance at morning tea or afternoon tea. It used to be my job to make the week’s apple compote, which I would vary every few weeks by adding some over-ripened fruit from the fruit bowl.
