Pear Thyme Scones

January 13th, 2012 · 5 Comments · Apple, Pear, recipe

Today I am bringing you one of the most comforting, toasty, tender baked goods I have ever made, not to mention one of the easiest. In the last week I have made this recipe no less than four times and I don’t think I will get tired of it any time soon. Other members of [...]

What a surprise! This apple seems pretty late in the season to show up at my grocery store so I was delighted to see it just sitting there near the end cap. I know of course, that ALL apples just sit there. But for whatever reason when it is a fruit I’ve never seen (or [...]

Comparing Apples to Apple

January 11th, 2012 · No Comments · Apple

Finally! Finally, there is a reasonable infographic I can share here on Fruit Maven. I completely, ridiculously love infographics. Many are tacky or mindless marketing drivel. But it doesn’t seem to matter. It is borderline irrational how much I enjoy the graphic display of data. I really should go back to school for design and [...]

Despite having tasted over 45 different varieties of apples, I still find new ones just sitting there at the grocery store tucked between the Granny Smiths and Galas. I have to say that I am insanely lucky to live in Southern California. We just have so much access to so much! I’ve never really talked [...]

Ambrosia Apple

December 2nd, 2011 · 3 Comments · Apple

If you’ve been wondering what kind of apple lured Snow White, then this is the fruit for you!
Aptly named, the Ambrosia apple, means fruit of the gods. And while I like to imagine that the gods are a little more imaginative than a straightforward apple (see the tiger striped lemon, caviar limes, pink fleshed apples, [...]

You would think that people would give me fruit to try all the time since I’m the Fruit Maven and all, but alas you would be wrong. Actually I am rarely on the receiving end of exciting fruit, which is ok I suppose since my close friends aren’t exactly as obsessed with finding the [...]

It is apple season and while I have tried over 50 different variety of apples at this point in my fruit loving career, I still look forward to finding something new every season. On this particular day though, I was just looking for some small snacking apples to keep in my refrigerator and toss in [...]
