Jicama
Known as the Mexican potato, jicama is a large root vegetable that's bulb-shaped with thin brown skin (should be peeled). It's found in most grocer's produce sections. Jicama's crunchy texture is similar to a water chestnut, but the taste is nutty and sweet. Jonagold Apple
Jonagold apples are a hybrid fruit, crossing the Jonathan with the Golden Delicious to produce its bright red and gold coloring. It is a firm, juicy variety, with a sweet/tart flavor. Perfect for making apple sauce, the Jonagold is also a fine all-purpose apple. You can find it fresh in the United Sates during September and October.
Jonathan Apple
Bright red and just the right balance of sweet and tart, the Jonathan is a very good all-purpose apple. Use it for eating out of hand and making pies and apple sauce. However, it is not a good choice for use as a baking apple. Jonathans are fresh, from September through January and are best used during those months, as they don’t store well.
