Cherries - THE best fruit

[ThatBusyFox]

Do you agree? My top 3 has been the same since I was a child:

1. Cherry
2. Mango
3. Peach

(Have to add raspberry as 4th as I'm particularly obsessed with them at the moment!)

We have just come to the end of my favourite few weeks of the year - when the supermarkets have pivotal cherries available, at £1 a punnet. I eat them every day - but they aren’t available any more.

Such an interesting choice! Do you not mind the texture of pomegranate? I love pomegranate flavour but rarely would eat the seeds as they are.

Same with passion fruit, it's up there in terms of flavour but the texture lets it down.

Baby watermelons are your friend!

My favourite fruits are
apples
strawberries
cherries
in that order

Alphonso mangoes (not just any old mango, they have to be Alphonso). Best fruit ever.

Then cherries, then nectarines.

I love cherries and keep meaning to get a tree

Morrisons best are fab

Cherries
Mangoes
A nice firm banana

We've got a cherry tree but our neighbour has put his bird feeder right next to it, so the birds get all of the cherries before we can pick them.

You have to tell me where you get punnets of cherries for a pound! So expensive around here, I ate my first cherries of the year today as I couldn't bring myself to spend £6 a punnet!

Raspberries
Proper satsumas
Watermelon

Love cherries but they are expensive. I also love passion fruit mixed into a Greek yoghurt

Banana always wins for me, it's not crazy expensive and it's all soft and creamy and I put it with anything I can!

I adore cherries. Followed by strawberries and green grapes.

Figs

DH would agree with you, @Sugarsnapper . I abominate figs (though oddly I like the dried ones).

I agree about cherries. Always such a treat.

I strongly disagree about mango. It’s like eating soap.

Pakistani Mangos especially Chaunsa (very short season)
Grapes
Cherries

At the minute, strawberries but only because I have home grown them.

They smell amazing and are so red and full of flavour. Just like the strawberries of my childhood rather than the bland supermarket offering.

Cherries are good, but there's all the spitting out of stones to contend with.

I'd go raspberries, strawberries ( but only English and in season, preferably in a brown paper bag from the market) and Victoria plums.

Cherries and peaches top 5.

They won’t be around for another year now, I’m afraid, @ThatBusyFox. You have to keep an eagle eye out for them - I get them from Sainsbury’s, and this year they hid them at the bottom of the list of berries and cherries.

You can rent a cherry tree in Kent apparently. they do the work and you go down and pick when you tell them to. Dd's just come back from her boyfriend's with a huge amount.

Apricots
Lemons
Honeydew melon
Victoria plums would be 4th,

You just reminded me that I bought cherries on Thursday and hadn't seen them since - cue dh going out to check his boot!

Cherries are lovely, but I would rate a properly ripe and juicy pear above them. Then gooseberries, if I can ever find them...

Love bananas and pears, my joint top favourite

Then a proper ripe nectarine.
Then blueberries.

I lived in Turkey when I was 2 and apparently cherries were cheap as chips over there. My DM said I developed my obsession with them there as they were the big lovely dark cherries.

I've got a three cherry trees of different types now in the garden.

Cherries
Raspberries
Strawberries
Banana

I love cherries and cherry earrings (if you get a double). Used to have wonderful cherry tree. Sadly far too many £££s nowadays, May be a once a year treat
