Think about this one. What is your favorite fruit, and why. It could be your favorite for cooking, or eating raw, or using in a sauce, or desert. Does it flood your mouth with juicy flavor, like a ripe stone fruit, or balance sweet and sour, like a perfect black raspberry, or excited your nasal cavity with its aroma, like a ripe banana?
I love fresh grapefruit, pink or white, and ugly fruit. They are both tart, and sweet, eaten fresh with just a little sugar. Grapefruit juice used to be my go to after getting up. It just helped wake me up, and excite my taste buds for tings yet to come.
Grapefruit juice was my go, early morning drink of choice for years. Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice is wonderful when substituted for key lime juice in a key lime pie recipe as well. Grapefruit is also very juicy, and is a must in citrus salads.
This is actually a difficult topic as i love so many different fuits and berries, all for different reasons. The only hting they seem to hace in common is that they need to have a blallance of both seet , and sour. For instance, I love a ripe stone fruit, be it plumb, peach, or nectarine. The skin is tart, while the flesh is super juicy, silky smooth, and sweet, with just a little sourness, depending on the fruit. Even really good watermellon, with its sugary sweet center, is ballanced with the sour white of the rind.
For cooking, though love a good peach cobbler, my favorite is apple anything. Again, I love mixing something sweet, like a pink lady, or fuji, and something with a little bite, like a granny smith, or Johnathon. A great apple pie, with a lattice crust, to me, is the epitome of a great desert, hot or cold, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream beside it.
Ok, your turn.
