We are looking forward to spring fruit - tiny berries and other fresh treats from the garden. But that doesn't mean we don't have fruit in our fruit bowl now.
What's In Your Fruit Bowl?
Right now I have these tiny clementines - hardly larger than a plum tomato. My hands are tiny and these are still smaller than my palm. They are tart, sweet, and very juicy, with huge seeds that are easy to pop out through the inner skin.
As much as we promote local food here on the blog, citrus is one thing that I at least have no qualms about buying from far away. There are no clementines growing here in Ohio, and it's a luxury and a privilege to have them here in the dreary late winter.
What's in your fruit bowl, here in the late winter?

i also have some teensy clementines, at $3.99 a bag! and lots of navel oranges because they were on sale, too, and i'm on a fresh OJ kick. throw some honey tangerines in there, too!
i've got black and red plums on top of apples on top of some sweet potatos and vidalia onions (isn't that bad to mix apples and onions or something?), and sitting on the counter are some overripe bananas that will likely go into the freezer with their dozen frozen banana cousins i have yet to use in my fantasy banana bread project.

My fiance and I are trying to buy all organic from the US so that limits us to apples right now but with such a vast variety of apple options we can till get different things each week.

there are always apples no matter what. im somewhat religious about "an apple a day." I am very excited for mangoes to be back in season in a few short weeks! Those are my favorite!

I have a massage client who tips in citrus from her trees, so my basket is overflowing with grapefruit, tangelos, blood oranges, tangerines and good old fashioned oranges. Yum!

plums - I didn't realize I missed plums until I got some last week and then one night sucked them all down (well, all two). So, I just replenished. Also, champagne mangoes - they have very little of the fibery stuff that's usually in mangoes and very sweet. Apples, grapefruit.

Organic tangerines; $7.00 a bag. Delicious if heavily seeded.
