I have to be so honest. Fruit sometimes scares meโฆ. Where did it come from? Is it safe? Is it washed? Is it bruised? But if I trick my brain into thinking that itโs the ridiculous one from Erewhon that costs $50 and sits alone on a little plush throne, Iโm not scared anymore.
I buy them by the crate at the farmerโs market when theyโre in season. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, CRANBERRIES (underrated), lemons, limes, blood oranges, grapefruits, pomegranates, plums, banana only if Iโm baking it into banana bread. All other fruits are irrelevant to me
Sometimes, you get a whole container of duds. Kind of white and unsweet, not ripe at all. Not this time! All of these big, ripe, and so flavorful! Such a joy!
