Red Lion Nectarines

Luscious, juicy, and beautifully ruby colored by
Mother Nature herself, Red Lion nectarines are
truly the "king" of all nectarines. Sweet as nectar,
as the word "nectarine" implies, they are the
"roaring" epitome of sweetness.
Like peaches, Red Lion nectarines are nutritious:
They are sodium free, low on calories, and a good
source of vitamins A and C, and potassium.

Easy Red Lion Nectarine Mousse
1 pound Red Lion nectarines
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp organic sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Thin nectarine slices for garnish (optional)
6 cinnamon sticks (optional)
Cut 1 pound nectarines from pits into a blender or
food processor. Whirl until mixture is a smooth puree,
scraping container sides as needed. If desired, to
remove bits of peel, rub puree through a fine strainer
in a bowl.
In another bowl, whip cream until it holds soft peeks.
Add sugar and vanilla and continue to whip until distinct
peaks form. Fold in nectarine puree and cinnamon.
Spoon into wine or martini glasses. Garnish, if you like,
with nectarine slices and cinnamon sticks.

5 Fresh produce Picks to Try

Enjoy a side of bok choy, a type of cabbage, sliced and sauteed
with garlic and ginger. Add other veggies and meat for a stir-fry.
Snack on the vivid flesh of ripe papaya tossed with chili powder
and lime. Frozen, the sweet, musky fruit is great in smoothies.
Belgian endive can be sliced lengthwise and grilled, but we love
the crunchy uncooked leaves as scoops for bites of soft cheese or
smoked fish.
Tomatillos have a mouth-puckering flavor that makes them delicious
raw or roasted in salsa. They're also bright and luscious when
braised with chicken.
Choose jicama when you crave crunch. Cut it into matchsticks for
slaw or salads. It's refreshing, mild, and won't discolor like tubers
might.
