At Emtpy Common we have Cottenham Seedling, Maxton and Wayside apples. We also have Concorde and Conference pears. Apples and pears can last longer if stored, well spaced, in dark and cool places like a garage or shed.
Some varieties of apples are too sour to eat, so they are cooked in a variety of ways - pureed, cooked and chopped in savoury dishes, in pies, chutneys and preserves. There are some wonderful, free recipes on this well-trusted, British website:
- www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/apple-recipes (apples)
- www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/pear-recipes (pears).

****Charlotte recommends two websites sharing useful information on apple and pear varieties: https://www.orangepippin.com/ and https://www.fruitid.com/. These websites will help you identify a range of fruit varieties and find out about local orchards wherever you are.
