This is the end of the short starkist cherry season, which only last about two weeks. These are the sweetest cherries I’ve ever eaten. Apricots, nectarines and peaches are beginning to appear on the market where green and white asparagus was displayed.

Much of what is sold is grown within a 100 mile radius. Most of the local green grocers mark where the items comes from. When things are available only in season, their taste is more appreciated. I still miss the silver corn available at the end of the New England growing season. The idea was to pick it while those at home set the water to boil. Shuck it as soon as you come in the door and eat it a few minutes later. The Green Giant doesn’t even come close.
