The organic peaches from Mexico are so sweet and the season is now. They rival the Georgia peaches.
Fairway has them priced at $3.99 a pound. (Second floor of Fairway, 74th and Broadway)
Choose the ones that have a dominant red patch.
Allow them to ripen at room temperature for 2 -3 days or until they smell sweet and have a slight give.
I turn them every 12 hours. Lay them flat, in a single layer.
I like to wash fruit by submerging it in a bowl of filtered water to which a dash of white vinegar has been added.
Dry and eat. You are in for a treat!

Thank you for alerting me to the Mexican peaches. Will head to the second floor of Fairway the minute we arrive in NYC. A bientot! Bises, Sigun.

You’re such a good teacher. Since Martha and I visited you and Alexandra — I have always washed my fruit the way you taught us that weekend!
