Here at Thrive Market, we’re all about supporting sustainable, local farming, and we encourage our members to shop at their local farmers market for seasonal produce—it’s the perfect complement to a pantry full of spices, oils, and cooking essentials from Thrive Market. This week, we’re celebrating the seasonal sweetness of pluots in this delicate gluten-free dessert.
As this simple French country dessert bakes, the homemade almond cream rises up to envelop slices of sweet and tangy summer pluots.
