Yep, mushy... icky.... will not let go of the pit.
You have that moment of dread, and when you finally get the flesh pulled away, it is bad.
Am I doing something wrong?
Should I buy them hard, and let ripen in paper bags, or is there some wives tale I am missing out on.
I find it with peaches too, so I opt for the nectarines.
Sigh...
What say you?
Oh I KNOW!!!! I don't know if there is an art to choosing but I hate when this happens!!! I dislike the mushy kind so much and yet I don't like them rock hard either... xo
ReplyDeleteI just think it's so hard to find any stone fruit that is worth eating from the grocery store. We planted a nectarine tree a few years ago and I can sure tell the difference in the quality of fruit.
ReplyDeleteThere must be a secret to choosing the right nectarines from the grocery store...but I sure don't know the secret. I've always had the same problem as you.
With my tree being so handy in the backyard, I don't buy nectarines anymore.
