  • Favorite Fruits

    What's yours?

    Mango tops my list. More specifically, the Pirie that grows right in our yard. Awesome. Unfortunately, the rains a few months ago washed away most of the flowers. So it looks like we'll have a small harvest this season.

    I also LOVE locally-grown Lychee, which is hard to find. Seen some FULL trees in the Liliha area though.

    Papaya with a squeeze of lemon on it has to be another perfect food. Not with Musubi though.

    Choose one fruit as favorite? Impossible! I love watermelon, really crisp apples, rambutan, durian (said while holding nose) and all citrus but especially grapefruit and limes - calamansi too. I can't think of a fruit I don't like.

            musk melon, white peaches and nectarines that are sort of crispy and not mushy, rosy apple (although it's been years and years since I've eaten any. I don't even know where they grow anymore), and poha.

                  Actually, If you have to be away from Hawaii, raspberries are pretty good.

                      Scary, man. Real scary.

                      Gotta' admit, Bird Cage was a HILARIOUS movie!

                      In Japan, fresh Melon Juice is very popular. Simply ripe Melons blended with a little milk. It's so awesome. There's also a packaged version in stores. I don't know why that hasn't caught on here yet. I should email Hawaiian Sun about that one.

                        Ka`u oranges, and it's not even close. I love citrus, don't care so much for most tropical fruits, and don't like melons or anything that has that melony texture, such as papaya.

                        Lately, I'm really into blackberries. Mix 'em up with some plain, nonfat yoghurt and slip into bliss....ah...

                          Blackberry crumble. Heat the oven to 375°f, and put in it, blackberries in a baking pan with some lemon, sugar and maybe clove or cinnamon. Add apple if you need bulk. While the friut is heating, process in a cuisinart (or rub in, by hand),a mix of equal weights of flour, butter, oatmeal and sugar, and a little bit of salt, too, and spice, if you want. Top the fruit with the crumble mix, and bake til bubbly and browned.

                          This is very nice, served with yoghurt or ice cream or pouring cream or even plain. You can use just about any fresh or canned friut, too. The crumble mix freezes well...I make lots, and then just pour it out, onto fruit, and bake, as wanted. Sometimes, I use a piecrust base, under the fruit...it's less messy to serve, that way. (any little bits of raw piecrust get chopped up, and added to the crumble, too) Nuts are nice, mixed with the crumble mix, too.

                            Banana and oranges top my list. Did try kiwi fruit a few years back.

                              Lilikoi by a mile. When I'm back home in Hawaii I eat as much of it as I can, seeing that a single manini kine one out this way sells for a $1.50 each. I bought a bag of lilikoi for a deuce from a roadside farmer while on Molokai last visit over (the farmer hadn't seen a $2 bill in years) and he gave me choke lilikoi for it....he must have given more than 4 dozen. The supply lasted me the entire length of my stay. One of my favorite memories from my last trip.

                              Other fruits that I do enjoy though very much are: Azorean pineapple, Washington State bing cherries, clementines, wild strawberries, and wild black raspberries.
