I'm working on a pie recipe and plan on giving the jam as Christmas presents. My fav wild fruit is American elderberry. Best jelly in the world! My friend Saba introduced me to the fruit of the kusa dogwood and they are really nice. They remind us a little of lychees. Just make sure they are ripe or your mouth will pucker up same as under ripe persimmon. I have a huge bag of autumn olives waiting to be made into jam and whatever else I can think of right now.

They are native to the UK and Ireland. I Have no idea where else they grow. Maybe everywhere! We have them growing in our garden, but you rarely see them in the shops.

When I lived in Ecuador I fell in love with an ugly little fruit called the "Grenadilla". It has an orange egg-like shell, and is all grey and gelatinous and lumpy on the inside. Slurp! Not exactly local though... Love the pics! Aww, look at you, you little tomato nymph, you.

I hope I get to try one one day. My favorite fruit, which also happens to be a fall fruit, while not so exotic, is the persimmon. Also known as Kaki fruit to many, as I learned while in Argentina. I love the hachiya best, but I'll never say no to a fuyu because they are delicious as well. Just don't forget to wait until the hachiya variety is super soft, mushy, and wrinkly- you really have to treat it like a baby and handle it carefully. But don't be afraid to let the juicy liquid drip down your cheeks while you scarf it down! Can ya tell I absolutely LOVE this fruit? haha... Your pictures are gorgeous! My favorites are the web and the turtle. I have an odd fascination with spiders, especially their webs, and turtles/tortoises are just the cutest! Ohio is calling my name.

I wrote to the TN Dept Ag last year when they wanted to ban the growing of autumn olive citing research by the USDA Beltsville on their super nutritional value. Be glad to send that to you. We love 'em. We’ve been growing and selecting autumn olives for 30 years, have some with larger size and excellent flavor.
