fruits rouges

Red fruits as a term doesn’t exist in English, sadly, as it usefully groups together some if not most of my favorites. The berries and currant family are all there, cranberries too. Back in the distant day when I was buying preserves (yes, shocking!!) my preferred Bonne Maman flavor was 4 (as in, quatre…) Fruits, perfect for pb&j on up: cherry, strawberry, red currant, and raspberry.

The red fruits of les collines exist in their own separate jars– perhaps one day we’ll mix them, but for now they stand alone in all their glory. Stripes of a season’s rainbow, colors and flavors of summer suspended in time xo
