So the other day I’m at the new San Diego Public Market and I see a few fruits I’ve never even heard of before with clearly marked signs: “Jelly Date” and “Rose Apple”. Cool! So the farmer offers me a taste of a jelly date and it has a faintly tropical flavor. “Ohh – is [...]

I was about to write about White Indian Guavas today, when the following quote caught my eye on Facebook this morning. (You are friends with me – right?) It captured me from the first words and then of course locked me in it’s grips by the end. True Confession: I haven’t read this book, nor [...]
Lady Alice Apples
March 20th, 2012 · 2 Comments · Apple
Today is the first day of spring and we are smack dab in the middle of March, my least favorite month for fruit. I’m generally tired of citrus by this point (although Pixie and Shasta tangerines can still catch my eye here and there) and the lovely berries are just beginning to show up but [...]

Apple Inc. planting fruit trees on their new campus!
March 15th, 2012 · No Comments · Apple, Maven
Adam over at Adam’s Apples posted a link today that I just had to share from one of America’s most loved and hated companies, Apple. This wouldn’t necessarily be news in my opinion except that Apple planting apples is somewhat clever and I’m a bit of a sucker for that kind of thing — like [...]

Cool Tool: Fruit Cozies
January 19th, 2012 · No Comments · Tool
Today I bring you some adorable fruit cozies from the etsy shop, The Little Road Said Go. Just looking at these makes me feel warm and loved. I don’t pack a lunch, but if I did you can bet I would be carefully wrapping my beloved heirloom fruit in one of these babies. It would [...]

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 [...]

Cool Tool: Apple Slicer
January 4th, 2012 · No Comments · Apple, Tool
I’ve decided to add a new (hopefully weekly) column to Fruit Maven where I highlight cool fruit oriented stuff that I find on the internet. If I’ve used it, I’ll let you know. If I make money from you buying it, I’ll let you know. If I just think it’s kick ass, I’ll let you [...]

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 [...]
