There's a decided sense of summery romance that stone fruit conjures for me; the sweet, distinctive perfume and velvety skin of an apricot, sweet-sour cherry juice running down your throat, the almost-impossible juiciness of a ripe nectarine.
All these are in season right now in Australia, where the sunny weather is seeing nectarine, peach, apricot and cherry trees bowed down with fruits – the perfect time for the launch of the Now! In Season campaign, by the Australian government, Victoria State government, and Horticulture Innovation Australia.
