Flicking your finger against the apple near the stalk can test the ripeness of the apple. If the sound you hear is dull, then it's perfect for eating. If you're not going to eat your apples right away, then try to store them in a cool, dry place, or within a plastic bag inside your refrigerator.

By the way, the U.S. Apple Association is promoting an "Apples for Santa" program to further help encourage healthy eating practices during the holidays. With this program, they are encouraging children to leave Santa an apple on Christmas Eve instead of a plate of sweets. For further fun and information on this program, please visit their website at.

The Pumpkin

Could you even imagine Thanksgiving dinner without pumpkin pie? Or Halloween celebrations without the Jack O'Lantern? Heck, could you even imagine the classic "Charlie Brown" cartoons without the "Great Pumpkin"?

Somehow it just wouldn't be autumn here in the U.S. without seeing those great orange gourds decorating both front lawns and table centerpieces. But the pumpkin have served many more purposes than simply being mere holiday ornaments and have actually enjoyed a lengthy history with our ancestors here in the Americas.

While roasted pumpkin seeds are known to make delicious snacks in themselves, the Native Americans were known to have used the pumpkin seeds for both food and medicinal purposes. The Native Americans had even used dried strips of pumpkins for mats.

The colonists, meanwhile, were the ones who developed the precursor to our pumpkin pies by filling the inside of sliced off sections of pumpkin with milk, honey and spices and then baking them in hot ashes. Of interest, however, is the fact that the colonists had also been known to use pumpkin as an ingredient for pie crusts and not necessarily the filling.

Pumpkins are an outstanding source of the antioxidant beta-carotene, which is a precursor to Vitamin A; and a one-half cup of canned pumpkin can even provide you with an enormous five grams of fiber as well. Pumpkin is also a good source of potassium and is cholesterol free.

If shopping for a pumpkin to cook, your best bet is in purchasing a "pie pumpkin", which is typically smaller than the pumpkins used for carving Jack O'Lanterns. Avoid pumpkins with any cracks, blemishes and moldy spots and look for ones that are firm and evenly colored instead.

While there are many resources available for recipes that utilize pumpkin, just keep in mind that ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon will always compliment the flavor of pumpkin very nicely.

While the apple and the pumpkin may arguably be two of our most popular fall fruits, there are certainly many other notable fall fruits worth discussing. In a future column, we will examine three more of them: the cranberry, the pear, and the grape. So until then, enjoy your apple today and enjoy the wonders of this magical season!
