I eat so many fruits all the time, it's hard to narrow it down! On a hot day

out I like the juicy, sticky sweet fruits, the kinda stuff that forces you

to wash your hands and face and arms which in turn cools you off!

Watermelon, oranges, kiwi, frozen grapes... okay I could go on and on

forever! Oh! Strawberries too! I am so craving Watermelon now! It's totally

hot out today but I'm going to be stuck inside cleaning! Maybe I can

convince DH to go get me some watermelon this afternoon! I usually just eat

it raw, there's no better way in my opinion! Otherwise I whip up a nice

fruit salad so I can enjoy all the fruits together!

Pineapple. Hands down, no questions asked. Watermelon is a close second.

this one's easy: ASPARAGUS. that doesn't cost $5/lb. simply roasted or as a

dipping vegetable. usually not soup or anything fancy. MmmmmmmmMmmmmm. Oh

blueberries in Maine. Pies, jams, with whipped cream, alone, w/balsamic

vinegar....I'll send a blueberry parfait recipe later whn I find it. Beth

I love watermelon especially the yellow ones. In VT the season is so short that

when you get your hands on a perfect one you wish it could last forever. As for

veggies I love green beans. I love to drizzles them with a little orange juice,

pecans and brown sugar thats dessert.

Hi, I'm new! Thought I'd respond to a question as an introduction.

 

Blueberries and blackberries are my faves to eat on their own or over

cereals, but a ripe Honeydew melon is fantasmic. Mix together Honeydew,

raspberries, soymilk and ice in a blender for a tasty, very light

summer smoothie.

Hi Liz,

It is hot here today too. In the 80's. Got on my shorts, I've done some

errands and now I'm ready for some fresh necterines, sliced up in a bowl, with

a little lemon juice and sugar in the raw sprinkled on to them. I love peaches

that way also.

 

Strawberries are coming in to season here, and boy do they smell and taste good.

Had some on the weekend sliced up with a little sugar. I often put them on

pancakes and serve coolwhip on top of that, for a special breakfast.

 

I've not frozen grapes before. I'll have to try that.

 

Happy Cleaning to you. Got to do some here too.

Judy

I love, love, love summer fruit. I am not kidding when I say I eat an

entire pineapple the other day in 1 sitting. When I was pregnant with

my 1st child I craved fruit. My husband ordered me the fruit of the

month club from Harry & David. Every month I was sooooo excited when my

box arrived. I would eat the fruit like an addict. LOL...

Lucky you! I craved pb & j sandwiches. we love our pineapple here, too. we

roast it! yep, we roast lots of stuff! break off the top, put it in an 8x8 pan

w/some water, poke a few holes & roast at 350 - 400F for about an hour. cool a

little, trim, cut & serve. goes really well with pineapple sorbet.

 

AND WHAT A SWEEEEET HUBBY!!!!

Let's see now, well strawberries sliced on ice cream and I really enjoy

summer squash sliced and steamed.

I love all summer fruits but especially currants - redcurrants,

blackcurrants, we even used to get white currants when I was a child

although I've never seen any of those in recent years. I froze a lot of

redcurrants last summer and I like to add a handful to my muesli at

breakfast, still frozen. A spoonful of redcurrant jelly is lovely with

nut roast. My favourite recipe for summer fruits, however, is this one

which my father's wife makes when I go to visit in the summertime:

 

Summer Pudding

 

8 oz (225 g) redcurrants

4 oz (110 g) blackcurrants

1 lb (450 g) raspberries

5 oz (150 g) caster sugar

7-8 medium slices white bread from a large loaf

You will also need a 1½ pint (850 ml) pudding basin, lightly buttered

Separate the redcurrants and blackcurrants from their stalks by holding

the tip of each stalk firmly between finger and thumb and sliding it

between the prongs of a fork pushing the fork downwards, so pulling off

the berries as it goes. Rinse all the fruits, picking out any

raspberries that look at all musty.

Place the fruits with the sugar in a large saucepan over a medium heat

and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes, only until the sugar has

dissolved and the juices begin to run – don't overcook and so spoil the

fresh flavour. Now remove the fruit from the heat, and line the pudding

basin with the slices of bread, overlapping them and sealing well by

pressing the edges together. Fill in any gaps with small pieces of

bread, so that no juice can get through when you add the fruit.

Pour the fruit and juice in (except for about two thirds of a cupful),

then cover the pudding with another slice of bread. Then place a small

plate or saucer (one that will fit exactly inside the rim of the bowl)

on top, and on top of that place a 3 lb or 4 lb (1.3 kg or 1.8 kg)

weight, and leave in the fridge overnight.

Just before serving the pudding, turn it out on to a large serving dish

and spoon the reserved juice all over, to soak any bits of bread that

still look white. Serve cut into wedges, with a bowl of thick cream on

the table.
