my favorite stonefruit vendor, scattaglia farms, has robada apricots in june. they are only in season for a few weeks. this year, we got them on june 14th and the market vendor thinks they’ll only be available for another two weeks. last year, we got them on june 15 and june 22. this particular variety of apricot has a strong red blush spot and is the most amazingly sweet apricot without being cloyingly sweet. i can eat 20 and not feel sick at all!

in other farmers market news, my favorite asian vendor has those sweet italian peppers that look like they should burn, but have a mild sweetness which makes them perfect for salads and egg white omelettes.

i love summer at my hollywood farmers’ market!
