Also at the Brentwood FM on Sundays, as well.
Some fantastic fruit at the farmers market the last few weeks:
Weiser Family Farms
Persian Mulberries:
Thanks to the FTCâer who recommended these last year, for this yearâs Mulberry season (now), we remembered to ask Weiser Family Farms about their Mulberries! They keep them hidden (in an ice cooler).
They were fragrant, sweet-tart (some were a little more tart than sweet), but quite tasty.
Sugar Queen Melon:
Beautiful aroma before you even cut into it. Weiserâs Sugar Queen wasnât overly sweet this year (at least for this melon), but it has a beautiful Honeydew-like sweetness (not Cantaloupe even though it might look like one). Lovely when served chilled last week.
Tenerelli Orchards
The maestros of great Peaches every year (donât miss out on their varieties of White Peaches!), they had some amazing Persian Mulberries last year, and they are now in season again this Summer. We couldnât wait to see how they might taste this year.
Persian Mulberries:
To use a @J_L phrase, seriously, like candy! The intoxicating aroma, Berry-like, floral, and ridiculously sweet! Not saccharine, but they were so amazing and sweet that we seriously had a small Salad (with The Garden OfâŚ's awesome Organic Lettuces) of just Lettuces and Tenerelli Orchardâs Persian Mulberries.
Thatâs it.
They had enough sweetness and aroma that we didnât even need dressing. A bit pricey, but give them a try if you get a chance. So good!
