The Fruit Orchard

Each season glorious fruits tease and titillate. In spring, their blossoms delight us and we’re filled with eager anticipation. We dream of summer’s juicy peaches, luscious sweet and pungent berries, jewel-like cooling melons. In autumn, we long to bite into crisp apples, savor a succulent pear, and linger over a velvety persimmon.

Adaptable and giving, fruits enliven light mousses and soufflés, glistening tarts, cozy cobblers, and homey preserves. They shine on their own or gently poached atop a pool of puréed berries. Whether in’ the orchard, the berry patch, or the garden, the thrill is there for the asking and the plucking.
