Fresh Produce of the Month - Roundup

Time has finally come to post the roundup of the 'Fresh Produce of the Month' Event! This month's theme was Apricot... I have only a few entries, but they are good ones!
Hopefully the next produce will be more popular.. in any case, here are the wonderful Apricot-centered recipes to try:

The first entry is from wonderful Meeta from 'What's for lunch Honey': Apricot Clafoutis! It looks wonderful.. and here is her own verdict: "The apricots in this clafoutis were baked to perfection. They were still juicy and gave the entire dessert an exceptionally fruity aromatic note." - we believe that! Also, check her wonderful post for lots of information about Apricots!




The second entry is from great Jai and Bee at 'Jugalbandi': Apricot-Orange sorbet. The recipe seems simple and the result delicious.. in their own words: "Frozen Stuff + Food Processor = Instant Gratification"! Thanks for your great idea!











Then I'll post both my apricot-centered recipes, since I don't have any more entries: this is Crostata con albicocche e frutti di bosco (Crostata with apricots and berries), i.e. my favorite birthday dessert, decorated with the most summery fruits!






And this is Frappe' all'albicocca (Apricot Frappe'), i.e. a refreshing apricot-yogurt-almond drink, with a hint of whiskey in it!
You can find both recipes here.







Thank you so much for taking part to this event.. and if the idea of making something with the freshest produce appeals to you, please send me entries for the new 'Fresh Produce of the Month' event. I decided I couldn't let the summer go away without dedicating one of these events to the most wonderful of the produces: Tomatoes! Tomatoes are so flavorful, when in season, there are so many varieties and colors, and are ubiquitous - I think most cuisines have recipes involving tomatoes!
At the Berkeley Bowl, now, there are plenty of different types to choose from (whole aisles full of tomatoes).. here are just a few examples of colors and shapes:
So, if you want to take part to this month's event, follow these simple rules:
1) Put a post on your blog with a recipe involving tomatoes. If you live somewhere where tomatoes are not in season, canned or somehow preserved tomatoes are acceptable too! Add a link to this post on my blog and mention that it's an entry for the 'Fresh produce of the month' event. If you like it, feel free to place the logo of the event on your post.
2) Send me an email with a link to your post, your blog homepage and your name. My email address is chemcookitATgmailDOTcom. Specify 'Fresh produce of the month' as subject.
3) If you don't have a blog just send me an email with your recipe and if you have a picture of the food you made, that's even better. I will add it to the round-up as well.
The deadline for this event will be September 2nd. I will post the round-up the weekend after. I'm looking forward to your entries!!
