Fruit Frenzy – What to Do with an Abundance of Seasonal Fruit?

Summer brings a bounty of flavor – juicy strawberries, sweet raspberries, fragrant apricots, and sun-drenched cherries. It’s hard to resist them, but sometimes we buy or pick more than we can eat. How do you make sure none of it goes to waste? Here are some delicious and practical ideas.
1. Homemade preserves – a timeless classic
Jams, marmalades, compotes, or fruit in syrup are perfect ways to capture the taste of summer for the cold winter months. All you need is sugar, jars, and a bit of patience. Feel free to experiment with flavor boosters like ginger, mint, or a hint of vanilla to give your fruit a unique twist.
2. Freezing – fast and convenient
Most fruits freeze very well. Wash, dry, slice, and store them in bags or containers. They’ll be perfect for smoothies, oatmeal, cakes, or pancake toppings during the colder seasons.
3. Smoothies and fruit shakes
Perfect for hot days! Just blend your favorite fruits with a splash of liquid (like coconut water, juice, or yogurt) for a refreshing drink. Add chia seeds, oats, or spinach for a more filling option.
4. Baked goods and desserts
Use ripe fruit in quick cakes, muffins, crumbles, or tarts. It’s a great way to use up surplus fruit while delighting family and friends with homemade treats.
5. Fermentation and liqueurs
For those who enjoy more adventurous flavors, try fermenting fruit (like plums) or making homemade liqueurs and wines. These are flavorful alternatives that also help preserve the fruit for months to come.
Don’t let your seasonal treasures go to waste. Use every last berry and enjoy the taste of summer all year long!
