It's pomegranate season. I know of a wild grove, out of the way but in public and no one realizes it. It's my li'l secret.

no, i wouldn't pay anywhere near that much. locally they're around $1.50 a pound but it's pretty early in the season, they should get a little cheaper.

I love those too. I think I was paying $2.99 last year for a whole enormous stalk covered with them.

I like the apples, pears, asian pear, pomegranates, and carrots!
I went to the fruit stand today and bought seven different kinds of apples from local orchards, almost 3 lbs for $2.00!
Some of them I'd never had before, including a Ginger Gold, Mutsu, Winesap, and Stayman. Can't wait to try them. The whole house smells of crisp apples, YUM!

Squash: butternut. Apples; Granny smith for baking I like apple cider and know a grower that makes a great apple cider. I like it somewhat tart. I had some last year from a lancaster market and it tasted just like red delicious apples with no tartness. It wasn't bad but was definitely lacking.
I wonder what makes a good cider? if I ever get the land I'm planting an orchard and will have the following apple trees. Granny Smith, winesap, macintosh and red delicious( for eating). I'll also add a golden russett apple since it featured in a an old classic favorite movie of mine with Lionel Barrymore.

Great lists! I LOVE fall produce....Not only yummy but pretty to display too.

The best thing about fall produce (squashes, pumpkin, yams, apples) is that it goes a long way towards reducing the overall grocery bill - you get alot for the money (unlike say summer produce like berries)
