seasonal fruits
« on: January 22, 2017, 08:27:18 am »
it's sad when you can't get the fruit you like because it isn't in season.
Dried fruit is as close as you can get to satisfy the desire. 
raspberries are my favorite.

Frozen fruits are good too. I like frozen strawberries, blueberries, mango, and pineapple. I am going to learn how to can fresh fruits so I can have them all winter.

Watermelon is my favorite and often is not available in the winter (or if it is, it's not good), but lately my supermarket has had some sliced that has been fairly good.

If only we could have good seasonal fruit in the winter, but alas we don't so  frozen or dehydrated are good ways to go. Canning is great in the summer, but so much of the good seasonal fruit does not can well and must be frozen to keep a fresh taste instead of a mushy taste and or texture.

I am amazed at how much fruit is available in the winter that wasn't available years ago .blueberries,strawberries, pineapple kiwi. I am still able to get  fresh raspberries.

Frozen only is available. I always used blueberries for my smoothies and just used frozen one.

I know how you feel.  I love strawberries and they are only good in the spring.  The ones the grocery store has right now are not as good and are expensive.

I do agree that there are many good frozen fruits when you can't get some of the fresh seasonal fruits. We are lucky here in Arizona to be able to get a lot of fresh fruits all year round,but some have to be imported and some are truly only seasonal.

I live in the south. I don't pay attention to where the fruit came from but our grocery stores have fresh fruit year round. I only know that I like to eat fruit and am glad it is available. However, sometimes the grapes do not taste as good in the winter.

I think you should eat the fruit and vegetables that are in season. I know it's tough when you want nice sweet summer berries though.

Strawberries are my favorite and sometimes they are hard to find.  I use them to make numerous dishes.  When I am unable to find fresh strawberries I sometimes opt for frozen as long as it works with my recipe.   :) :) :) :)

Did you ever think about searching online for them ::) I'm sure Amazon would have what you are looking for or some other site.  If it is growing somewhere I'm sure someone will sell it to you.  Obviously  that line of thinking didn't occur to you, your welcome  8)
