Concord Grapes (with seeds.) Best eaten fresh or preserved for jam/jelly. Season: Early Fall If you have never had fresh concord grapes, you are in for a treat. These anti-oxidant packed fruits are super tasty and very healthy for you. I remember the first time I had one. I struggled with the seeds. Don’t bite…

Don’t refrigerate the pears, but set them out on the counter. When you can make a slight mark on the pear with your thumb nail, the pear is ready to eat.  Pears deteriorate from the inside out, so don’t wait until the pear is very soft because it may have already passed!
