A medium sized, faintly ridged cooking apple with light yellow skin flushed blushed with bright red. It has hard, cream flesh. It keeps its shape when cooked, making it good for pies and tarts and also does not lose its colour when cut, so is good for salads. It was discovered in Ulster Count in New York some time before 1790 and was a favourite of Thomas Jefferson. It was widely planted in the United States during the 19th Century.
