Market day

I just love all the fresh fruit and vegetables available at this time of year. I bought a tray of apricots as I’d like to make some apricot jam, and also I would like to make an apricot tart. I think that what I need to do is research how I can store some of the apricots for tarts later in the year.

The raspberries are to go with the chocolate mousse I made yesterday for dessert tonight. And the courgettes I will include in a salad with a delicious fresh lemony, herb dressing. This will accompany the bavette steak that we bought from our local butcher. I’ve come to really enjoy a bavette, it has so much flavour. The beef we buy is from the Limousin, renowned for its beef cattle.

I’m so looking forward to dinner.
