Fresh Fruit



Welcome Friends!

I am so delighted when I can send company off with a little gift. The leftover cake from dessert, a special mug or teacup, perhaps a copied recipe, just a forget-me-not...

When you stop by, I always want to leave you with a treat, because it means a lot to me that you visit!

Today's resource is something I can give to you a little at a time. It is a Calendar of Fruit Seasons. Do you have one? I found this years ago in a book from the library. It is very helpful. (The fruits listed in capitals are at the height of their seasons.)

January: blood oranges, dates, kiwi fruit, kumquats, LAVENDER GEMS, lemons, limes, oranges, papayas, pears, pineapples, TANGELOS, tangerines

February: blood oranges, dates, kiwi fruit, kumquats, lemons, limes, oranges, papayas, pears, pineapples, strawberries, tangelos, tangerines

March: blood oranges, dates, kiwi fruit, kumquats, lemons, limes, oranges, papayas, pears, PINEAPPLES, strawberries, tangelos, tangerines

Try to buy fruit in season. Beautiful produce, in all its color, is such a gift! Try it for dessert.


Round out your morning meal with fresh fruit, such as a tangerine, or "cutie",
some whole grain toast and low-fat yogurt.

Warmly,
Alis

  1. Great idea Alisa! Especially here in Nevada where most of our produce is shipped in.

    Have a beautiful day!
