The Perfect Fruit

This is probably not of too much interest to those who live in distant places, but if you are looking for the best fruit in the world, check out Frog Hollow Farm. They have a store in the San Francisco Ferry Building that sells their produce as well as the great pastries that they make with their fruit, but we have been buying their stuff in the Tuesday evening Farmers' Market in Berkeley.

I will warn you that Frog Hollow is more expensive than anyone, but it is the Rolls Royce of produce. Yesterday we just bought apricots that were better tasting than any I have had in years. I highly recommend their peaches, as well. In fact there was an article in Gastronomica last year where the author was going around looking for the best peach in the world. He found it at Frog Hollow (and his search used both scientific criteria (degrees brix, pH and so forth) as well as subjective).

Now, if you will excuse me, I have some stone fruit that is just begging me to eat it.
