Well, here’s something you probably didn’t know: New Zealand-grown ENZA Jazz™ apples are now available in North America. That’s right, it’s the first apple to ever capture the smooth tones and crisp texture of jazz music, making it-according to an ENZA press release-“the grooviest apple you’ve ever tasted.”
Check out the names of some of the recipes the ENZA people have concocted: “chilled out jazz apple salsa,” “nuts about jazz caramel apples,” “jazzy beignets d’orange” and “jazz, mango and melon mélange,” to list just a few.
To see the recipes, find out where ENZA jazz apples are available near you, or just to verify that we aren’t making all of this up, check out the Jazz apple’s official Web site.
