Title: Re: [NAFEX] Speaking bluntly...Arkansas Black

Yes, but only after it had been stored for at least six months, if not longer.  It was better for cooking, even so.  The fruit was from an area called Apple Hill in the foothills east of Sacramento, in gold rush country.  It's a higher , cooler area than the valley and grows decent apples.  Apples in the valley are so much mush in the hot summers.
