yeah, they are. locals enjoy the rainier cherries the most, it seems. i'm
still a bing lover from way back. make sure the fruit is firm, carol. that
goes for grapes, cherries, blueberries and plums. boy, costco had some
delicious red seedless dinner grapes. i tried them at the gimpfest and got
hooked on them. had to buy a batch when i got home.LOL very yummy. now,
i'm into my big fat bluet blueberry mode.LOL
btw, it is a very poor fruit and veggie stand that won't cut a piece of
their product for you to taste or not invite you to taste a grape or cherry.
i ask all the time. even grocery market produce sections will do that for
you too. don't buy tasteless stuff, cuz you didn't try the product first,
ok?

Hmmm, I never thought to do that. The watermelon I bought was a whole
one and it was nice and firm, but absolutely tasteless. I'll have to
remember to ask next time I go :)
Hugsies,

have you tried ,after washing and taking the grapes from the bunch. putting
them in the freeezer for a little while and let them get mushy or slightly
hard? they are really a cooling off treat.
try a few and see if you like them.

Aaah, thanks,,,,, just had to go tell the wife of your suggestion. She
likes a good popsicle to cool off and eats all kind of fruits and salads
through the day. One of the best we can eat is blueberries as far as what
they do for a person. I guess that is why bears fight over a berry patch
although they do not need a reason. Just getting too close is enough.
Cherries are the champs for gout. Anything that does not taste sweet
enough did not stay on the vine long enough or tree I guess.

ya know, the IGA where we buy a lot of our fruit always has samples out of
the real "in-season" stuff and of anything that's on super sale. It's worked
with me a couple of times - I've ended up buying fruit I'd planned to avoid
because it tasted much better than I expected that early in the season.
but..... we visited AJ's again today to pick raspberries. Sure wish we had a
freezer - Mike has a line on one we ccan get for free, but hasn't had the
time to organize a truck and several strong guys to help him get it.
Cherries on our next visit - didn't have time today for more than picking 4
qts of raspberries.
