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

Dearest Shane,
ReplyDeleteWe 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
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?
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous nest!
ReplyDeletePersimmons 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.
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. :)
ReplyDeleteOver from Mosaic Monday
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.
ReplyDeleteYes dear Vicki, is having the most generous giveaway , she is a wonderful lady !!
Hope you are fine Shane !!
Hugs, Dorthe
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
ReplyDeleteoh 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.
ReplyDeleteLast 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.
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?
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteJulie
These are beautiful photos and mosaics. I've never tried either of these foods. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your fruit, the colours, all very exotic to me :-)

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.
ReplyDeleteDear Shane,
ReplyDeleteI 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
Carolyn
Your Autumnal collage is so beautiful Shane with those amazing Tamarillos.
ReplyDeleteI 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
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.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your fall, Shane!
Karen
I've never tried either of these fruits but your gorgeous photos of them have me wanting to taste :)
ReplyDeleteIt 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!
ReplyDeleteCiao. Qui siamo a fine primavera, quasi estate. Maturano le prime fragole e ciliege.
ReplyDeleteUn abbvraccio.
Persimmons were my Mother's favorite!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to think of you going into Fall while we are going into Spring...crazy!Hahaa

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!
ReplyDeleteWait - 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. =)
ReplyDeleteFruit looks very beautiful and it is tempting to eat it. You have got a wonderful give away!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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.
