a rose by an other name...

...could also be a plum!, as the Prunus genus falls within the  Rosaceae family.

A sure sign that Autumn is on the way and Marissa's Orchard shop is glowing with ambers, blues and bloods fresh picked from stone fruit orchards in our valleys.
Now that fig season is on the decline and nonna's 'figs for sale sign' is not a daily event we tried an alternative...a half plum with a sliver of Roquefort tucked snug as a bug in a prosciutto blanket.
Yummm.
