Sweet Summer Fruits
Orchards are bursting with fruit right now. It's stone fruit season - peaches, nectarines, plums and apricots are making their appearance in abundance. They're all perfect when eaten out of hand, just keep a napkin handy to handle these original "juicy fruits." 

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we're keen on sweet summer fruits. We start with a simple homemade ice cream, present a summer fruit crisp, and finish with homemade fruit leather. Along the way you'll find plenty of tips for picking peaches, whipping cream, and cooking with fruit -- all while maximizing your enjoyment of summer fruits.
