Favorite Fruit (and fruity things...)

Watermelon!
When my kids were little I used to make fruit pops with mango chunks & Green yogurt (maybe a bit of honey) blended in a blender and frozen in Popsicle molds. You can pretend you're eating ice cream for breakfast.

the 3 week strawberry season ended here, so we are back to cherries. We eat a lot more of them now that we have our fancy cherry-pitting gadget.

I'm gonna go ahead and @ elaine, since she likes to get us all buying gadgets (I bought a hot dog cutter thing yesterday thanks to her - I cant wait to use it! LOL)

Watermelon!

I wish I was the kind of person who loves to just snack on fresh fruit, but I just don’t eat a lot of it. I do enjoy many things made with fruit, but the texture of most raw fruit is off putting to me. I do enjoy watermelon on a hot day. 

I make a great triple berry pie with blueberries, blackberries, and strawberries, so that’s my favorite way to eat fruit in the summer.  

I love cherries! They’re in season now here in the Okanagan and I can’t wait to dig in. 😊

Muscat grapes. They’re like little capsules of the sweetest juice just barely held together by the thinnest of skins. When I buy them, I hide them so that I am the only one who can eat them. 
Fresh locally grown raspberries and strawberries. 
Ripe Galia melon.
And I love pears, but given that their window of perfect ripeness is only about twenty minutes, I don’t eat them very often. 

this is where I fess up that I struggle with fresh fruit. I want to like, I keep buying and trying it...but I really prefer tinned fruit in most cases.

I think it's because, except for grapes and melon when we lived in Cyprus, we really didn't have fresh fruit growing up and in my young adult years, I couldn't afford it and I never really developed a taste for it. I keep trying though - both because it's healthier and because I want MY kids to grow up with fresh fruit at home.

I do like grapes (only green seedless) and melon (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew)....apples are okay sliced.

I like crumbles and crisps and pies and ....other baked goods with fruit

I like cherries, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, grapes, figs, pears, watermelon and I think that's it. I like mango but I can't cut it easily myself so I leave it for DS or my dad to cut if they buy one. I also like pineapple. Same thing applies. 

I don't like raspberries, blackberries or blueberries (I would say I hate them all equally). 

Fresh tarragon goes amazingly well with the cherries and chicken.  Also green onions and chopped celery and toasted slivered almonds. 

Too funny, tarragon is my go-to herb for chicken salad, along with all the ingredients you listed (I posted it on the dinner thread earlier today). Glad to hear it goes well with cherries, too.

I have finally realised most fruit here is either rock hard or tastes like cotton wool. I want to like it but it never ripens well, with the exception of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, all of which I have on cereal. There is nothing more delicious than fresh Scottish raspberries.

I can't think of a fruit I don't like. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be peaches. Living in Georgia, I eat my fill. Most evenings in the summer I have a fruit salad or a smoothie with fresh fruit.
