Glad you had a chance to try one, that's pretty funny - nice to see my state fruit out there in Jersey. Yeah I forget to mention they do fetch a premium!

A whole section of Honeycrisps was right there in with the rest of the apples. Of course, I bought one and packed it with my lunch today. My very first impression is that Honeycrisp is a very appropriate name; it was sweet, with a touch of tart, and firm and crisp when I bit into it. It was also nice and juicy without dripping all over as I ate it. The only things that gave me pause were its size and its cost per pound. The apple I purchased was just over half a pound, about the average size of the apples on display. Coupled with the price of $2.99/lb., I couldn't justify buying more than the one I sampled, especially when other varieties were going for $1.29-$1.49 per pound. $3.00 for 2 apples seemed like a bit much to me. But I just might break down every once in a while for a special treat. Thanks for the heads up for these great apples!

If I do come across them, I will be sure and give them a try. I've never noticed the Honeycrisp here in NJ, but I do enjoy my apples, especially now that fall is here.
