Last Fall Fruits From My Garden.

[Denninmi]

I rescued enough fruit from my garden ahead of tonight's deluge to make a large bowl of this mixed fruit salad. Everything is from my yard.





The ingredients:

Bosc Pear chunks (white with brown skin)

Red Delicious Apple chunks (white with red skin)

Paw Paw chunks (yellow)-- soft texture, a lot like mango, with a "tropical fruit flavor" -- tastes like banana, pineapple, and mango.

Blackberries

Red Raspberries

Golden Raspberries

Arctic Kiwi (small green fruit cut in half)-- tastes just about like the fuzzy kiwis from the store, but only the size of a grape.

Litchi Tomato (large red berry front and center)- a rare tomato relative, tastes like a blend of watermelon, tart cherry, and a really fruity variety of cherry tomato like Sunsugar or Isis Candy.

Autumn Olive (small red berries)- taste very similar to pomegranate.

BTW, it's delicious. I ate this bowl after I took the photo. Plenty left for breakfast tomorrow.

The only fruit yet to come this year is the American Persimmon, which won't be ready for another 4 weeks (mid to late November). Persimmon bread or Persimmon pudding for Thanksgiving - another yum.
