Although the fog was in, bits of sun peaked through to shine down upon the abundant fruits of the fall~persimmons, pomegranates, apples, brussels sprouts…even strawberries! We really are fortunate to have so much delicious produce year round.
What I have mostly noticed are the dried goods that are becoming available. Rather than fresh fruits, you find nuts~fresh walnuts still in the shell, almonds that are crunchy! …and a new-comer, honey. This made from all natural process and local bees is said to help support allergies as much of the honey contains the local pollens and so your body is able to build a slow immunity to the pollens that may plague you now:)
This week, we made a delicious salad of pomegranate, walnut and apple salad~and I can’t forget the persimmons! We shopped around, found all of our ingredients right there. You will notice that the recipe calls for mint~but we couldn’t find any and so just added a little extra flavor and thought nuts might do the trick…and they did.
Please enjoy.
