Now's
the time to take advantage of all the late summer and early autumn
fruits that are appearing in the shops. Fruit has a host of uses: as
a healthy snack which refreshes and enlivens the palate, in homemade
beauty treatments, and bottled to bring back memories of glorious summer
days.
The Mediterranean
diet relies on fresh fruit to follow every meal instead of heavily
dairy-laden desserts. But as our recipes show, there are other exciting
ways to use the current glut of stunning late summer fruits - apricots,
apples, blackberries, damsons, greengages, grapes, peaches and pears.
If you can't find the demand to keep up with the supply, why not try
preserving and bottling the excess fruit - bottling and jam making
are excellent ways to enjoy fruit out of season.
Hang on to summers
magic with our seven exclusive recipes that make the most of seasonal
fruit. |
