Can You Name These Fruit?
What can we say? We love working in Chinatown. A quick stroll around our block netted us this catch of fresh domestic and exotic fruit. How well do you know your fruit? First person to accurately name all of the fruit in order from top left to bottom right will be crowned King or Queen of the Serious Eats Fruit Parade!In a Pickle: Pickled Nectarine Slices
I believe it's time to bring back pickled fruit. With so many people reacquainting themselves with the combined flavors of fruit and vinegar in the form of drinking vinegars and shrubs, pickled fruit is the natural next step.Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Stone Fruit Fest
For this week's edition of our Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to hit the local farmers' market in search of the best seasonal stone fruit. For a challenge we dubbed Stone Fruit Fest we wanted to see what all of you do with these juicy seasonal gems. After reading through your responses all we can say is that we'll be over for dessert sometime very soon. Here's a peek at some of your loveliest stone fruit-centric recipes.Seriously Asian: Durian Smoothie
It's that time of year again. My annual plug for durian, the oft-maligned, odoriferous fruit beloved in Southeast Asia and beyond. Usually, my advice to durian novices is to select a fruit with the least-pungent smelling odor you can find since different kinds of durian will range from mildly cheesy-smelling to gym-locker-stench-evoking. Durian smoothies are a treat on a hot summer's day. You might even get a few durian converts if you serve the fruit in smoothie form, which offers a milder kick of that distinctive cheesy taste.Spice Hunting: 10 Ways to Pair Spices with Summer Fruit
When used right, small amounts of carefully considered spices can heighten, compliment, and add complexity to the flavors of fruit. Many spices, after all, are dried fruits in one form or another. Go slowly and add a bit at time to prevent overwhelming the fruit's natural flavor. Check out this slideshow for 10 ways to pair spices and fruit in sweet and savory ways all season long.How to Make No-Cook Freezer Jam
With freezer jam you get to preserve the bounty of summer without the fuss, heat, equipment, and time that canned jams require. All you need is ripe fruit, sugar (or another sweetener), pectin, and about 15 minutes of easy kitchen time. Before you know it, you'll be proudly scooping up homemade jam for toast, smoothies, yogurt, or just straight into your mouth.Gluten-Free Tuesday: Pomegranates
It was not until I was forced to go gluten-free that I started really eating pomegranates. My motto? "If it doesn't have gluten in it, I'm eating it." Pomegranates intimidated me for years. Their tough skin and thick pith seemed pretty impenetrable.Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 140: Can Dried Fruit Be Diet Food?
Lately I have taken to eating raisins and dried tart cherries as snacks. I normally eat lots of locally grown apples and pears this time of year, but for some reason my local markets, Fairway and Citarella, have had little or no local apples. What's up with that? It's apple and pear season in the Northeast, but not at these markets apparently. Normally I hit my local Greenmarkets on Saturday and/or Sunday, but I've been traveling most weekends for the book, so that hasn't been an option.How to Make Dried Apple Chips
Before the chillier temps set in and we all start (at long last) on pie, tart and crumble baking, here's how I'll be satisfying my fruit fetish: airy, delicate slices, crisp and almost candied, tinged with just the slightest bit of oven-brown on the edges. Let's make apple chips!Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
