apple notes (part two):
\n<\/strong> <\/span><\/span>what flavors and foods pair well with apples<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>Apples are an extremely versatile fruit that can pair well with warm, seasonal flavors and well as foods with a fresh, tangy profile. \u00a0 Warm tones of vanilla, tonka, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, bay, caramel, butter, brown sugar, molasses, and sage.\u00a0 Apples, raw or cooked, are a good companion to a variety of nuts and dried fruits including hazelnuts, pine-nuts, walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, pumpkin seeds, chestnuts, raisins, currants, died berries and cranberries.\u00a0 Apples go well with other fruits: pomegranates, pears, quinze, cranberries, figs, dates, oranges, and blackberries.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Foods with \u201cfresh\u201d flavors such as ginger, tarragon, chervil, Italian parsley, sorrel, fennel, leeks, celeriac, celery, and fris\u00e9e taste wonderful with apples as do seasonal items such as parsnips, winter squash, carrots, potatoes, and wild mushrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>My favorite proteins to serve with apples include wild boar, duck, quail, poultry, goose, pork, veal, cured meats such as\u00a0 pancetta, prosciutto, lomo, sausage (all types, especially blood sausage), and eggs.\u00a0 Seafood and lean white fish also go well with apples.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Apples pair well with many types of cheese, including: (1) Swiss-style cheeses: Comt\u00e9, Gruy\u00e8re; (2) Goudas, in particular,\u00a0 aged Gouda; (3) Cheese from the Normandy region of France (Camembert, Pont l\u2019\u00c9v\u00eaque, Brillant Savarin, Neufch\u00e2tel); (4) aged Cheddars; (5) triple creams (Saint Andr\u00e9, Brie);\u00a0 (6) speciality cheese (i.e., cranberry-stilton); and\u00a0 (7) some blues (i.e., Gorgonzola Picante, Cashel Blue or Saint Agur) are nice crumbled in an apple salad or tart.<\/span><\/p>\n
