   Love cherries – made a gorgeous chocolate and cherry tart last night. The mangos I have bought this year haven’t been great though – will have to try again before Christmas.

     Love the chocolate and cherry combination! We haven’t bought mangoes this year, but there have been heaps at the markets…

   Ohhhh … I am missing cherries at Christmas. They are definitely Christmas for me. Enjoy. They look divine. And I would have to agree, chocolate and cherries are best friends.

   Everywhere I turn, I seem to bump into quinces and pears…whether its in Copenhagen or The Hague! And apples too….and Cherries (in Copenhagen) for that matter.

   Cherries for me too! I love to eat a bowl of cold, juicy cherries late at night…sitting on the sofa watching TV.
   Lychees, mangoes, apricots (surprisingly good at the moment), nectarines (brought by my sister from a farm out near Bathurst), ice cold watermelon on a hot day…….I love summer fruit.

   Sad to say it is clementines, lychees and frozen mangoes and frozen raspberries for us. The frozen mangoes are quite acceptable as I have never had a good fresh mango in Paris – but then – being from QLd – I have very high standards!

   Brussels sprouts! I know this makes me weird, but I adore a good bsprout!

   Ozoz, interesting that you’re seeing cherries in winter! I always thought they were a summer fruit!

   SG, the apricots have indeed been most fine – Pete has been making large batches of apricot jam from them…

   Sigh…Anna, you Queenslanders are all the same! If there’s any state where you’re spoilt for produce, it’s Qld… :)

   SK, I LOVE Brussels sprouts! Stir fried in oyster sauce is my personal preference..

   Cheers, Celia
