It is a sad time of the year when the kitchen starts getting hot, but the colours of food gradually fade out into the raw landscape. This is a comforting closing trip to the local fruit market to witness the richness of the late summer and early autumn goodies, and preserve them over the winter in jars, spice and…jewelry boxes.
There’s fruit punch in season:
Followed by the icons of the season, emblematic in their rich profusion of pink, berries.
Broken up by a tangy twist of citrus, foretelling the autumn season, stepping on our coat tails, as we meander round the market.
And lastly, the vivid palette of devilish spice to sweet bell peppers - the ultimate winter roulette for daredevils, when it comes to popping one into your soup.
Wish you could keep these beauties with you all year round.
