Summer
Summer is the best time for fruit as the varieties are plentiful. All of the stone fruit – nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, cherries are available as well as mangoes
It’s a great time to buy this fruit in bulk and poach, bottle or freeze it for later in the year
Summer is also the time for salads, and there are so many different salads to be made than just lettuce, tomato and cucumber!
