Do you have foods you wait all year for them to be in season?

Hippinski · March 2010

I do...bad.

Spring/Summer = rhubarb. I love it and dream about it...true story.

Fall = apples

Fall/Winter = cranberries

These three things I love and as much as I try them at other times of the year...it just isn't the same as when they are fresh in season.

Pears= and from a specific farm too

Same with Kiwi's

i don't think i've ever had rhubarb. our seasons are "off" here so i'm am excited about my garlic and tomatoes that should be ready in a month or two.

oh yeah, citrus and pomegranate!

Gah! You poor thing! If you like tart things at all you would love it. It's so yummy. If I actually make it to canning it this year (I usually end up eating it all in cakes, muffins, crisps & pies) I might have to send some to Glad so you can have some. It really is so yummy.

Pears, peaches and blueberries. I love fresh picked apples too, but don't mind the ones in the store either. I think I just like the picking part.

Asian pears! Mmmmm. I love them. I finally got a tree so I don't have to shell out the $$$ for them.

danjou21 · March 2010

Peaches in the summer!

I've never tried rhubarb...I really need to. I've never seen it in the stores here though...or at least never noticed!

It is way too expensive in the stores...and it is never as good. If you can get it at a farmer's market that is different.

Can you tell I love it? lol

Lady Galadriel · March 2010

OH and cherries.. so so so love cherries and we have farms that we can go pick at 10 min away.

goodgalpal · March 2010

Strawberries, and tomatoes. MMMMMMMMMMM!

Janacash · March 2010

Yes it is that farm. I would stalk the farmers market for them each year. The owner said though if I am there getting beef I can pick up pears too. Yummy. We actually applied for a rental SUPER close to there. If we get the place I may have to ask if you have extra eggs from those super fluffy chicks.

Linnya · April 2010

For me it is:

Tart cherries

Tomatoes

Sweet corn - I am going to miss this here badly!

megjr8 · April 2010

Rhubarb and strawberries

hamilton.ja · April 2010

basil and rhubarb!

E_Squared · April 2010

Peaches and corn for sure! And living in Michigan, we always go nuts around the cherry and apple harvests - nothing beats 'em fresh from the tree Yes

nsees · April 2010

Strawberries from DH's family's strawberry farm. I always make jelly but this year I'm going to try freezing some too.

Oh man, I didn't even put sweet corn. That is in a league of its own.... my sister's best friend's father was a sweet corn farmer and oh.my.god... even my father who grew up in corn land (N. Illinois near the Mississippi) says it is the best corn he's ever had. I've watched him eat an entire ear without taking a breath! Ohhh... droooooollllll.....

Joes_love · April 2010

snowballs/snowcones

corn on the cob

and before i developed an intolerance, blue crabs.

nothing better then eating crabs with corn on the cob in the backyard in the summer, followed up with a snowball....mmmmmmm. stupid stomach.

Dobie_Mama · April 2010

Asparagus, cherries, SC peaches, cranberries (though I have to admit I buy TONS of these in season and freeze them) and winter squash. I love winter squash. So much more than summer squash.

LittleFuller · April 2010

I have been drooling in anticipation of eating fresh strawberries, peaches & sweet corn! I'm going to try to freeze extra fruit & can some corn, but I HIGHLY doubt it will make it that long!!

Hoovereeno · April 2010

Strawberries, Honey Crisp apples, and sweet corn.

I just had my first bowl of strawberries of the season this morning.

Dr.Loretta · April 2010

DH lives for clementines in February.

I love me some heirloom tomatoes in the summer

I have found a big blueberry season in my area, and it's becoming a fun thing to go to the farmer's market to line up for them from the one supplier.

Now I have to add blueberries & raspberries to the list. This year I have my own raspberry bushes! YAY!!!

And sweet corn. I have the yummiest Fresh Corn Chowder. Nom nom nom.

megstriesagain · April 2010

Ooh, so many!

Squash blossoms, figs, pumpkin, spaghetti squash, parsnips, asparagus, apricots, tiny prune plums, really fresh cherry tomatoes...

I love love love the farmer's market.
