One of the many joys of seasonal food buying, and it truly is a joy, is judging when to get in and out of a seasonal offering.
After tasting all 3 of the pictured above we have just hit the entry point for wet almonds, cherries & apricots.
All from Spain. All will get nicer and cheaper as the season develops.
I expect we will kick-off with yellow peaches & nectarines the week after next.
