Although I am so excited for fall, there are some things that I will miss about summer.
Watermelon, blackberries and strawberries to name a few.
Fall has it’s own bounty of squashes, sweet potatoes and other root veggies, but there just isn’t much fresh fruit to be had…at least not where I live.
That’s why it’s so nice to have a place where you can get really delicious fruits year-round, a place like Melissa’s Produce. And what fun is it to explore new fruits and veg that don’t ever grow where you live? I’m looking at you, citrus fruits.
I recently got to try some of Melissa’s offerings, namely their Cara Cara Oranges and Figs. They arrived right to my doorstep and were perfectly ready for eating.
The oranges were what I think of as a mix between regular oranges and blood oranges, sweet but mellow.
And the figs were earthy and sweet, and allowed us to put together one of the best pizzas we’ve ever made (recipe below- you’re welcome).
Even if you’re not into the foods that I tried, there’s plenty more exotic fruits and vegetables to explore from Melissa’s…and what’s better than getting them sent straight to you?
