Do you use any summer fruits in baking?

I used to make a lot of cakes and use summer fruits in them.
Recipes were all from my mother, and I made delicious cherry, apricot, plum and grape cakes.
Summer fruit is very versatile as it can be used with sweet and savoury foods to create great recipes.

However, I have not made a summer fruit cake for a year or so now apart from a pavlova that I decorated as per the photo!
I made it for a sick friend and had a tiny piece - DELICIOUS

My fruit never gets into cooking . . . I like it as it is . . . although once I did add some mango to a chicken dish and it was yum yum yummy.

I'm sad for you too :(((

I know its all quite sad isn't it (lol)....But! one day, that Lamb Roast will be on the Sunday Table :) yaaaaaaa

Keep the door locked in case Tom Cruise turns up. He might bring Xenu!

lol...lol....lol....!!!!!!

Why don't you have a working oven????

to get it fixed, is a Plumber needed as it is Gas and a new stove-and that runs into maybe $2000. :(

Well not me but my wife does. She is really a good cook

The only summer fruits I use in cooking are berries. I like a pavlova covered in berries and kiwi fruits. I have also made some raspberry or strawberry flans which are delicious covered in a berry glaze and served with cream. YUM 😋

Yes!! They are so versatile and can be used for sweet and also savoury dishes! I do tend to prefer them raw though!! I love fuit so much,and snack on it all the time!!!

I love to make apple pie. Maybe that's more Fall fruit. Sometimes I put blueberries in my blue cheese salad.

I don't bake either, as OUR oven hasn't worked for about 5 years, so all our summer (& other) fruits are eaten, mostly on our cereal, or some apple pear in the evenings.
