Fruits of the Season

Last Sunday I went to my local market and was excited to see the beginning of Spring!  The aroma, colors and textures of the fruit were so captivating that I HAD to buy a variety to enjoy.  The fruits available now go so far beyond apples and oranges.  I wanted to share with you a few of my findings. Those include:  Cherimoya (creamy texture), Star Fruit (decorative shape, with a sweet & sour flavor), Dragon Fruit (a cross between a kiwi  & pear), Lychee Nut (juicy & sweet), Papaya (similar to Mango flavor) and of course there are always our favorite standbys.

Remember a tomato is a fruit, so next time add one to your fruit salad.
