Creative Recipe Inspiration
Now that we have you thinking about Ambrosia apple recipes, why don’t we share one of our favourites. This one comes from Dana Ewart of Joy Road Catering and was shot in a beautiful Ambrosia apple orchard just before harvest a few years ago. Dana’s Deconstructed Waldorf Salad features Ambrosia cut three ways, looks like a restaurant meal but is simple to make. We think it’s the perfect start to a fresh, fall meal.
Who Grows Your Ambrosia? Meet Tahir and Family
Tahir Raza grew up in a farming family in Pakistan. He immigrated to Canada in 1992 to join his wife who was already living here. They both spent many years working in apple orchards before acquiring land as a joint venture with Tahir’s brother and sister-in-law. One of the first things they planted at Raza Orchards in Vernon, BC was Ambrosia and now these apples are their pride and joy. Meet Tahir, one of the people who grows your BC Ambrosia apples.
