How should I store summer produce?

Summer heat ripens fruit quickly. Here are some tips:

• Stone Fruit (Peaches/Nectarines/Plums): Ripen in a fruit bowl, then move to the fridge once softened.

• Berries & Figs: Keep in the fridge; wash or trim just before eating.

• Tomatoes: Keep on the bench for flavour; refrigerate only if very ripe.

• Leafy Greens: Store in the crisper drawer to keep them crunchy.
