Juicy fruit

When you finally get to sink your teeth into a plump peach, juice running down your chin and your fingers sticky with sweetness, you know it’s officially summer. Luscious cherries, tender strawberries and loganberry cobbler are all perfect picnic treats. Don’t waste your taste buds on unripe fruit from across the country. Visit your local farmers’ market, where berries, peaches and apricots are plentiful. You may even find some field-grown tomatoes and sweet peppers.
