The early peaches are ripening. The birds are testing them as
curious shoppers would with Avocado pears in the shop. The unfortunate thing is
that birds can’t squeeze the peach to test if it is ready, so most of the
peaches are covered with peck marks.

| Fresh fruit tartlet with peaches and strawberries |
The familiar old makeshift scarecrow in the tree is no
deterrent. It is simply a case of the early bird or person, getting the ripe
peach.
We have a choice of peaches, strawberries and paw-paws
ripening in the garden. Meals taken in the garden, have to include dessert. If
nothing else, than to ensure that we can enjoy the garden offerings in situ.
I am trying to keep dessert menus interesting. My creativity
is moving from preserving to finding ways of enjoying the fruit as fresh as
possible.

| Strawberry foam with fresh strawberries |
Fresh fruit tarts are always quick and easy to make. For a
spin on the church bazaar pudding my mom used to make, I am exploring afresh the
possibilities of strawberries in a foamy jelly.
With longer Spring days and most meals being enjoyed al fresco, it is a pleasure to capture the freshness of the garden as a dessert menu treat.
So bly julle geniet alle goeie natuurlike produkte uit julle tuin. En beny dit. As ek in Bonnievale gewoon het sou ek baie kom kuier het.....
ReplyDeleteTotally delicious. Strawberries are easy to grow and so generous for the little space they can occupy. Thanks for the post. Great images too.
