    STONE FRUIT TIPS

    Most stone fruit is available from late October through to the end of March.

    Choose fruit that is coloured yellow at stem end, not green. This indicates ripe and full-flavoured fruit. Look for smooth, unwrinkled skin and firm fruit that gives a little to gentle pressure. Aroma is also an indication of flavour – it should smell sweet, ripe and fruity.

    Store stone fruit in a bowl in an airy place at room temperature for full flavour and aroma. Don’t store the fruit in plastic bags. Use within a few days and once ripe, the fruit should be refrigerated.
