The Best of Stone Fruit: White Nectarines

Fri, 18 Nov 2011

Stone fruit season is beginning, so prepare your taste buds for amazing flavour! These fruits are named for the large seed, or stone in the middle. Every one of them is juicy, sweet, and refreshing. Look for white and yellow nectarines and peaches which are in season and ready to be delivered to you. When looking for this invigorating treat, it is important to find fruit that is unblemished, light in colour and moderately firm to the touch. Fruit that is bruised or discoloured is likely to have an off flavour and should be avoided. Ripe fruit can have either a pink or yellow blush that is just beautiful. To ripen stone fruit quickly, put it in a paper bag and leave it sitting out. Don’t leave it there more than a day or you may end up with nothing but mush. You should avoid buying any stone fruit that feels mushy when you apply pressure with your thumb because it is already too ripe. You can skip the hassle of searching the fruit store boxes for perfect fruit during stone fruit season by ordering your box of nectarines from BuyFruit.com.au.  Only the best fruit is sourced from local growers, and your order will be carefully packed and sent to you in excellent condition.  One thing to remember about nectarines with white flesh is that they have higher sugar content than yellow nectarines. This means that they will cook faster and taste sweeter in recipes. This recipe for Honey Baked White Nectarines with Yoghurt is a perfect example of how to make this fruit shine as a baked dessert....

I'm posting this a bit belatedly; I actually received the LP last Wednesday, but didn't have adequate time to put a post together until after the holiday weekend (ah, the joys of working retail). Ordered on November 17th, shipped out the next day, and arrived in less than a week. Overall a very smooth transaction, though the charge from Meta still shows as 'pending' on my credit card statement (anyone else have this issue?). I am actually a very Classic girl, so ordering this LP (especially as a first purchase) seems like an odd choice; however, there are a few Sweet prints out there I can't help but love. Fruit Punch Soda is one of those prints, and considering the discount I could potentially receive FPS items at (as well as some cute blouses, boleros, and other accessories), I decided to take the plunge. :3 As far as lace monsters go, this one is actually quite lovely; the simple design offsets all the lace, I think. That being said, it's not my style; also the cut doesn't fit me well...
