What fruits did you eat today?

I’ve tried several ways. Don’t boil them with the pits in. They will fragment and you’ll never get all the bits out, except maybe with a food mill.

If I remember correctly, I let them get quite ripe and red. Rinse/clean the fruits and then squeeze them in my fist over a large pot holding onto the pit to discard.

I boil until soft, then zip them with an immersion blender and add a metric ton of sugar and cook down to desired consistency.

Thank you, it is a good idea to squeeze them. A metric ton of sugar is a bit too much for me. :wink:

Ate the first ripe apples yesterday and today. The variety is Susleiper, the popular heirloom in Russia. They are from USDA repository from last year grafts.

They are quite large apples. The flesh is very soft. They had good balance of sweetness and tartness in them and for the first apples of the year they were good.

I had some TangOs peaches for the first time. Not a fan. They’re so meaty and dense that I find it a little off-putting.

lucky bugger. mine are all fall bearing so i have to wait till’ august. might just start a new patch next spring of summer bearing. do you have any other cultivars of summer bearers ? my father used to grow lathams but I’m sure there are better varieties other than that now.

We just have Killarney…will be a very intense couple of weeks of ripening when they are more mature…but that should serve us well for our U-Pick operation.

I ate my first Loring peach yesterday. It had rained the night before, so it was a bit blander than my Harvester last week, but still good.
