Autumn Fruit



Autumn's bounty is generous
and each year I look forward to
savouring the delicious fruit of the Persimmon tree.



Tamarillo's are another fruit
that ripen at this time of year
also known as Tree Tomatoes.
I usually make chutney
which is delicious served with cold meats.

I'm joining Mary for Mosaic Monday

  2. Dearest Shane,
    We do miss our Persimmons as they are such a lovely fruit!
    But ours got all stolen by the raccoons and there was nothing left for us...
    Enjoy yours in season.
    Happy week and hugs,
    Mariette

  3. These are fruits I have never seen here (I have heard of persimmons, though). The colors are fabulous. Isn't it wonderful how each season brings its own treats and delights?

  4. That is a gorgeous nest!

    Persimmons I have eaten, tamarillos I have never even heard of. They look interesting. If I ever find one in the market, I shall have to try one.

  5. Persimmons always remind me of my childhood...a neighbor had a large tree and she would let my cousin and I climb up in there and eat the delicious, ripe fruit...when they WEREN'T ripe, she wouldn't let us climb the tree...the persimmons are soooooooooo bitter when green. :)

  6. Oh I love the Sharon fruits ,as we call them here, from The Persimmon tree, but they don`t ripe in Denmark, only we gets them from warmer countries far away ! The Tamarillo`s I have never tasted dear Shane, and am not sure if they are to buy here.
    Yes dear Vicki, is having the most generous giveaway , she is a wonderful lady !!
    Hope you are fine Shane !!
    Hugs, Dorthe

  7. The persimmons look delicious. I need to check the stores here to see if they have any. Learned something new I had never heard of the tomato tree. Have a blessed day. Madeline

  8. oh I love persimmons and tamarillos. In fact I bought some Persimmons the other day. They are very expensive here, but I usually treat myself to a few.
    Last year I tasted tamarillos for the first time - and fell in love with them too!
    Have a wonderful week. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday.

  9. Pretty still life mosaics!! Have not eaten a persimmon in many years - used to eat them often when a child. Don't think I have seen a Tamarillo before. Do they taste like a regular tomatoe?

  10. Hi Shane, I love the fall and you photos are so pretty! My husbands uncle has a persimmon tree on his farm. I don't think I've tried one though. I bet they taste good. Have a wonderful day and week.

  13. What lovely bounty of the season. Persimmons are a treat, but I don't think I know the other. Now I will be checking out this give away.

  14. Dear Shane,

    I too am enjoying all the Autumn fruit that is about - tamarillos and passionfruit are my favourite.

    Sweet little birds nest.
    Hope you have a happy week
    hugs

  15. Your Autumnal collage is so beautiful Shane with those amazing Tamarillos.
    I have actually dyed wool using these giving a sweet blue shade!
    Hope you are having some beautiful sunny days over there as we are here!

    Vicki's Giveaway nest is so very special!

    Hugs,
    Suzy

  16. Autumn is a wonderful harvest time and your fruits sound delicious. Come late August, I'll enjoy picking some tomatoes, provided I plant some this week.

    Enjoy your fall, Shane!

  17. I've never tried either of these fruits but your gorgeous photos of them have me wanting to taste :)

  18. It does seem strange to see persimmons ripe at this time of the year. Here in France, my tree is laden in the winter and at Christmas, it looks wonderful - orange balls hanging like glass ornaments!

  19. Ciao. Qui siamo a fine primavera, quasi estate. Maturano le prime fragole e ciliege.
    Un abbvraccio.

  20. Persimmons were my Mother's favorite!
    It's hard to think of you going into Fall while we are going into Spring...crazy!Hahaa

  21. I've never tasted persimmons or tamarillos - can't say I've seen them in any of our stores either. Maybe they're available in the big cities, but not locally. They do look good!

  22. Wait - where do you live? Are you harvesting already or just dreaming and tempting us with those luscious persimmons? We are so fortunate to have friends with a persimmon tree, and they graciously share with us every year. =)

  23. Fruit looks very beautiful and it is tempting to eat it. You have got a wonderful give away!

  24. Beautiful photos with a decidedly French flair! The lighting really showcased those fruits. Ah, I really love those wild & lovely nests. I saw this too late to sign up, however. Gosh, I am running so far behind on visiting folks. It's just downright pitiful.
