Knowing I was to spend a long period in Adelaide during summer, I was looking forward to stone fruit. I would be there right in the midst of the middle of the season. In some ways it would remind me of my school holidays in summer - when we prepared all the produce from our back yard fruit trees - jams, preserves etc. Still the taste of freshly harvested fruit is something special and I look forward to it.
However, I have arrived in Adelaide in the midst of the best cherry season the growers of the Adelaide Hills have had for a long time. They are around $9 a kilo, and they a plump and juice and I have bought some almost every time I have stepped into a fruiterer and I am looking forward to going to the Adelaide markets to see what is on offer there.
I have plans to make some chocolate baskets with cherries as my contribution for the Christmas Day fare, but meanwhile I will just 'test' the cherries.
Today in the supermarket, I found another cherry treat. Woolworths had a great special - Cherry Icecream at $1.50 a tub. I couldn't resist. Yum.
