Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 I love summer! I love fruit! What are you all doing with these delectible summer fruits? Do you have any favorite recipes? Are you canning? Drying them? Can you share some ideas? Thanks! Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 I just like them cold and raw, the old fashioned way. I don't know if mangos are in season, but I just had a couple that were terrific. > " iris054 " <clicker > > > Luscious Summer Fruits >Sun, 30 Jun 2002 21:33:05 -0000 > >I love summer! I love fruit!

One of my favorite treats is a big bowl of melon, pineapple, and raspberries. No dressing of any kind. It doesn't get much better than that! But wow I sure have withdrawls from all that luscious fruit in the winter. I really miss the big summer variety. I can't eat oranges or bananas (allergy), and apples are terrific, but in the middle of winter I'd love to sink my teeth into a big, juicy peach, or a sweet little apricot, or a tart little plum.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 I always drool at the supermarket when I see those nice (overpriced) fruit trays. That reminds me of that " big bowl " you mentioned. And speaking of peaches, last week I bit into what I believe to be the best peach that ever existed (many paper towels were required. Ever try peanut butter on apple slices? I've got one mango left, it's time to pounce. I hope we get good recipes from your request. Cheers.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 Yeah, I love peanut butter on apple slices! Brilliant minds think alike, huh? Gee, you're making my mouth water talking about that peach. I hope we get good recipes, too. Enjoy your mango!! Reminds me, I got some organic cherries, and I haven't quite finished them. Yummmmm!!!

That's what makes those wonderful fruits all the more special -- that they're not available all year round! Then when we're able to eat fruits in season that makes them that much sweeter, non? Hello Everyone, I'm very happy to have found this group; I'm nearly 54 years old, and for most of my life I loved eating meat, especially beef. The rarer the better for me! Well, I don't know if hormonal changes had anything to do with it, but about ten years ago I began to eat less and less meat and now I'm nearly 100% vegetarian. Sure, once in a while I'll have a craving for salmon or tuna steaks on the grill, but that's about it for me. I pretty much go along with what my body tells me I need to eat, and that's that. Melinda's post reminded me of something my paternal grandfather told me long after I was an adult. When he was a child in the early 1900's, it was a treat to find an orange in his Christmas stocking; even today, nearly 30 years after his death, I still see the wonderful expression on his face as he told me about eating that single orange at Christmas... Of course, oranges were rare at the time. But what most likely made it special to him was that he ate it in its proper season! He most likely ate only a couple of oranges per year, but oh what tasty oranges they must have been for him! Today we are fortunate (??) in that we have access to tomatoes, say, year-round; but think about what we've lost. Many of us don't have the joy and pleasure of plucking a sun-warmed tomato from its vine, biting into its juicy flesh, and wiping fresh tomato juice off our chins. With a little salt, of course! So Melinda, don't fret over missing peaches, plums, and apricots when they're not in season. When they ARE in season, they'll be that much sweeter to you. Yikes! Some introduction from me, huh?? LOL!! I promise to send along a yummy veggie dish recipe in my next post. Yvette Trahan Pascoag, RI US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that the better brunch buffets often have AMAZING fruit selections, even in winter. I don't mind spending the $12.95 for huge bowls of raspberries, boysenberries, watermelon, honeydew, pineapple, and strawberries in February! (And it doesn't hurt that their sticky buns are decadence defined and that they'll make omelets to order!)

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Sounds wonderful! I've frozen cherries and blueberries to use in soy shakes in the winter -- I just put them in the blender frozen. Do plain strawberries freeze okay, does anyone know? Melinda , susieQ-sahm2@w... wrote: > I make homemade jellies & syrups. I freeze some to use in winter. We > eat them " as is " & in smoothies!!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Spread the strawberries on a cookie sheets & freeze. Pop them loose when frozen & pour into a freezer bag. Since they are individually frozen, you can use as many or as few as you need.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Thanks, Susan. I just didn't know how well they freeze. I will definitely do some for winter smoothies!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 I don't know what my deal is, but I just can't do it. The colder the better for me. We have this commercial come on down here for a grocery store promoting its produce. This farmer grabs a watermelon (just picked) and breaks it on a wrong and eats it. LOL, I cringe when I see it. To each their own. Cheers. MX. >susieQ-sahm2 > > >Re: Luscious Summer Fruits >Sun, 30 Jun 2002 22:08:32 -0400 (EDT) > >I dont even bother getting them cold! Room temp for me.
