Where's pineapple? Fresh pineapple is awesome!

Okay, fine... I'll second Jamie's huckleberries. Ours don't come on till mid to late August. Wake up and sprinkle them into pancakes over a campfire...mmmmmmmmmm! Then take them home and turn 'em into jam and syrup and pie a la mode... well...the ones that weren't eaten while picking or on the way home LOL!

After that I say it's a tossup between apples and bananas. I have a pink lady apple for lunch every day - YUM. Bananas, however, are more versitile - peanut butter sandwiches, dipped in chocolate and frozen, sliced over grape nuts, baked into muffins, whirled up in a breakfast smoothie or a chocolate-banana milkshake.... another YUM.

I'm goin for the peach family. Nothing like homemade Peach icecream in the summer or one right off the tree. My brother has a white meat Peach tree that has the juciest, sweetiest peaches anywhere.

BTW, what the heck are huckleberries? Isn't that a cartoon? Huckleberry Hound?

yum! we used to have a tree when I was little

and a fig in syrup was a delicacy for dessert when we'd go to Colombia

off the tree was the best though

In our yard here in the mid-west we have: Pears /sweet sour cherries / black rasberries / maulberries / and gooseberries.

and then we grow melons (water and decker ) in our garden.......

And Erica, you are so right. We do deserve something for tolerating the frackin cold !!!!!

A vacation to where it's warm that time of year!!!!! lol

Oh and while were on the subject.........why are Tomatoes not listed? After all they ARE fruit 🙂
