Summer’s sweetest stone fruits are ripe for the pickin’! What makes a stone fruit unique? It has a single large seed or pit, typically found at the heart and center of the fruit. This season, you’ll find all your favorite stone fruits in-store, like delectably fresh peaches, ripe apricots, juicy nectarines and plump cherries.
Here are some of the unique varieties to keep an eye out for:
Pick a perfect fruit
Tip 1: Not quite ripe yet?
Place your stone fruit in a paper bag, out of direct sunlight at room temperature. Check daily for perfect ripeness.
Tip 2: Extend Freshness
When your stone fruit is ripe, store in a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. This will preserve freshness for an extra three to five days.
Tip 3: Whoops, too ripe …
Don’t toss your stone fruit yet! Roughly chop up the fruit, toss in a saucepan with a little water, a touch of sugar and dash of cinnamon. Cook down until fruit is soft and syrupy for a delicious fruit compote to top ice cream, waffles, pancakes, yogurt and more.
