Slack Ma Girdle

No it doesnt mean I want you to undo my corset, oh lascivious one!  (But you can if you want ;)  It is of course the name of an old apple. Old in the sense of rare and has been around a bit – just like me !  Hahaha.  But you knew that didnt you? :) What a delicious sounding name though.  I am getting a lot of inspiration from you fellas lately.  You only have to come out with an interesting, slightly risque sounding tale and I am on to it, pouncing like a panther and begging you to let me blog about it.  So thanks Mister for the info on this most delightful of apples – now where do I get one?

Slack ma Girdle probably means “slack my girl” rather than “loosen my belt”. Risque names aside, Slack ma Girdle apples are medium sized with a quite flat shape and have an attractive, picture book apple colour of yellow green with bright red patches. The flesh is very sweet, making it a good choice for use in a blended cider when combined with a bittersweet and a sharp cider apple. As they are so sweet, these apples are also great for use in jams – just the best in blackberry and apple jam. Though it is in the early flowering category, Slack ma Girdle’s fruit ripen late, starting in November and hanging on into the New Year. This leisurely ripening period could be the reason for its curious name. It originates from Devon, though its parentage is unknown.
