THIS WEEK’S FRUIT
Golden Sweet Apricots
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
Following up two of our largest varieties is the Golden Sweet, a smaller apricot that makes up for whatever it lacks in size with its rich flavor. Though we may bake pastries featuring other varieties, the Golden Sweet is our variety of choice for our best-selling apricot conserve. An- other California born and bred variety, it has a brilliant golden orange skin with a soft blush.
Gold Dust Peaches
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
The Gold Dust is one of our favorites and the first truly outstanding peach of the season for eating out of hand. An heirloom variety, it is low in acid and smaller than most of our peaches. Its juicy, melting texture and sweetness can hardly be beat
Jade White Nectarines
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
White-fleshed nectarines, the Jade’s subtle sweetness and low acidity makes them a great contrast to our early-season yellow nectarines.
June Glo Nectarines
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
An early season, yellow fleshed nectarine that is semi-freestone and full of flavor. Another great fruit by Flyod Zaiger.
Santa Rosa Plums
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
Famed California horticulturist Luther Burbank bred this plum in his Santa Rosa plant research center. Red-skinned with a purple bloom, its amber flesh gets flushed with red. It’s plump perfection with tender flesh that’s extremely sweet and juicy. A bit of tartness in the skin bal- ances out the sweetness.
