How should I store summer produce?
Summer heat ripens fruit quickly. Here are some tips:
-
Stone Fruit (Peaches/Nectarines): Ripen in a fruit bowl, then move to the fridge.
-
Cherries & Berries: Keep in the fridge; wash 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.
