bakeapple n Several small shrubs are found in the country which bear fruit, the principal of which is called the baked apple berry, so named by the fishermen from its kindred taste to the common baked apple of the states. In seasons, it blossoms about the first of July, and is ripe by the latter days of August; the fruit is of a pale yellow color, soft and juicy. On the 28th August, I accompanied the captain of our schooner, and several others to a large field of this wild fruit in the (over) [reverse] baked apple berry (cont'd.) neighborhood of Red bay, where we had a good feast of this very agreeable substitute for the genuine baked apple.
