for the love of kerr apples

Let's talk about Kerr Apples, a sturdy Canadian variety that was developed right here in Morden, Manitoba, back in 1952.

At Dead Horse Cider, we have a special place in our hearts for these apples because they're the secret ingredient in our award-winning Life is Rosé cider.

Kerr Apples are incredibly versatile – you can use them to make jelly, juice, bake delicious treats, or simply enjoy them fresh. They're at their best and ideal for picking right after the first frost in early October and bring a lovely touch of acidity and a hint of astringency to our cider blends.

If you happen to have Kerr Apples, we'd be absolutely thrilled if you'd consider sharing them with us for our apple-press program - we even offer a premium for these little gems.
