OK, I might be a super dramatic fruit nerd, but they ae seriously REALLY GOOD here people! I casually tried one last year and have been Gold Nugget groupie ever since. I swear I have asked my friend (and farmer) Steve if they were in season 20 times in the last 6 months :) All that ranting and I'm not even a citrus lover!
Since this is a new hybrid fruit I am not sure if major chain grocery stores carry them, but you might have luck at a farmer's market. I, of course, I got my own tree at the lovely Maddock Nursery in Fallbrook, CA and even got to pick a bag of fruit! Trust me, if you can get your hands on one of these beauties you won't be sorry!
I made this fruit bowl in 7th grade when I was in 4-H! I once caught my grandma trying to throw it away and salvaged it from the trash. I'm so glad that I did because the older I get the more I like it. I seriously think it might be one of the coolest things I've ever made!
I love the way the glaze separated color and dripped around the pottery. I distinctly remember that we didn't know what our pieces were going to look like until they came out of the kiln. I love suprises so that was my favorite part!
Uncle Paul collecting fruit!
Wonderful!!!! pictures, Nicole..... but now I am hungry AND homesick.
Cool pictures Nicole. Thank you for bringing us there, we loved it. I miss the smell of all those oranges! The bowl is very cool. I don't think I've seen it in person, but it photographs very well!
