What is your favourite summer fruit?

That is a real difficult question as I love most summer and stone fruits.
Once upon a time I would have said strawberries however the last few years the strawberries taste of little, and I have virtually stopped buying them, as they mostly do not last long either.
Perhaps I would say water melon - it is crispy, sweet and doubles for me instead of a salad with some meals. It is low calorie and refreshing and is therefore one of the more versatile fruits.

Watermelon and mangoes . With the heat of summer a watermelon is the best. Mangoes are a nice sweet treat to have .

Gee. That is a hard one. I am loving plums at the moment, but all the summer berries are the ones I would be eating the most and using in my desserts.

With the emphasis on summer . . . hot, thirsty times . . . I am going to say watermelon as it is such a great all rounder. Like Finy, I love most of the summer fruits *YUM*

I'd better bring my fat pants! Hahahahahahahahahaha.

good idea-was trying out beds yesterday with a friend and had a skirt on.....can you imagine the rest???

Ohhhhhhh dearrrrrrrr.

That's a really difficult question. I like lots of fruits. I have been buying lots of mangos, peaches and cherries recently. Maybe cherries would be my favorite

MANGO & CHERRIES are my favourite summer fruit!!

by Miro

Lychees!!!! Definitely lychees!!!! I also love cherries. Both of these have very short seasons, so I would have to say the I really love white nectarines as well!!! I eat such a lot of fruit al year through, but the sumer fruits are my favourites I think due to the varuety! In winter here in Nth Qld, I adore the really fabulously sweet strawberries which whe can always find so plentiful and cheap!! I grow huge passionfruit all year round, so I cannot really call these a Summer Fruit though they definitely are a FAVOURITE!!

Nice juicy peaches which I may add are increasingly difficult to find with flavour.

totally agree Helga! dont know what has happened to fruit -it just does not have the same flavour - I go to a very expensive fruit shop and that is far better than any of the others.

A tasty ripe but not over ripe apricot just plucked from the tree in someone's backyard. However, I rarely get one of these so I am going to plant a dwarf apricot tree in my backyard and wait patiently. The fruit from the shops isn't tasty so I rarely buy 'fresh' apricots and have to make do with tinned or dried fruit.

I love fruit and with global cultivation a reality, it means I can experience my favourite fruits at any time of the year (albeit more expensively). However, I can't go past watermelon, pineapple, peaches, plums, apricots, blueberries, cherries. These fruits are always in our fridge during summer.
