The Saveur Market Report: Summer Produce Edition

With summer in full swing, there is no better time to start cooking with all the fresh produce at your fingertips. Peaches are at their juiciest, avocados are at their creamiest, and the cherries have never been sweeter. At SAVEUR, we have been pretty obsessed with all of the amazing fruits and vegetables in their prime this summer (if you don’t believe us, just check out the SAVEUR Market Report), and we want to fill you in about the best ways to enjoy them.

Get into the summer mood by dusting off your gardening gloves and growing some fruits and veggies in your own backyard. Or, if you aren’t known for your green thumb, go to the farmers’ market to get your fresh fix. Maybe your adventures among the stalls will inspire to you make a bright and spicy tomato sauce for shakshuka, or a tangy tapenade with sweet figs, sure to be a crowd pleaser on crostini. You can even bring some serious summer freshness to your cocktails, too. And to enjoy the sweet, sticky summer fruit all year long, preserve your treasures in compotes and jams.

Checking out our summer produce guide is the perfect way to start off, giving you the tips you need to conquer this summer’s best fruits and veggies a produce prodigy, if you will. Get working in the kitchen before all of the fresh goodness is gone, and don’t forget to show us how you #cooktheworld while the sun is shining.
