Right now is the perfect time to enjoy some of our favorite fruits in the entire universe - stone fruits like peaches, plums, nectarines, and apricots are in season and ripe for the picking all the way until September! Food blogger Monique Otero of Brunchpants has us drooling over these dark chocolate covered apricot bites sprinkled with flecks of pistachio and flakes of coconut - perfect for a summer barbeque or a mini dessert. Just try not to eat the whole batch at once... Apricots top my list of stone-fruit choices. As soon as the season comes along, I head straight to Red Jacket Orchards. This farm goes back three generations and boasts the largest apricot farm on the East Coast. Started in 1958, this family-run orchard prides itself on sustainable farming practices incorporating holistic and bio-dynamic techniques to improve their organic production. You can find RJO at the Union Square farmers market and smaller farmers markets around the city. See their full schedule
here. Combining fruit and chocolate, these sweet (but not too sweet) apricot snacks are a summer-must during stone-fruit season. I like to serve these as a light dessert after a barbecue or as a quick grab when I want a healthy indulgence.
