What is that fiery glow in the fruit bowl you ask? Why, it’s the beautiful Red Jacket Orchards apricots I picked up at Whole Foods Market just this afternoon. I didn’t even hesitate, one look at these beauties and I jumped. Or they jumped, right into my cart. $3.99 for the 1.25 pound package didn’t seem too high a price to pay for such pleasure. The season for Eastern-grown apricots (these are from a well-regarded orchard in Geneva New York) is so fleeting that s/he who hesitates is lost. I could bake something with them, but instead I will bask in their glow and enjoy them one by one. Glorious!
Faith B. thanks for the crumble, crisp etc. classification. I have always wondered – and now I know – sort of. Joan
