Guys let me be honest with you

My camera is out of batteries and I’m pretty sure I lost my charger.  And my back-up charger.  And I’m too cheap to buy fruit.  But maybe I’ll do something tomorrow.  MAYBE.

In Review

Well, these past couple of weeks have been action packed, haven’t they?  Yes, they have.  I think that I can safely say we’ve been on a journey together, you and I.  A journey to the very end of the fruit putting universe.  And, after yesterday’s experiment, I think that its time to stop and see where we stand.  If you’re new here, please review the fruitorials in order:

1. RASPBLUEBERRY
2. STRAWSPBLUEBERRY
3. STRAWSBLUEBERRINE
4. STRAWSPEARBLUEBERRINE
5. STRAWSPEARBLUEBERANGE
6. STRAWSPEACHBLUEBERANGERMELON

By the end of that crazy train, you’ve no doubt noticed that we’ve left the realm of practicality far behind.  Although part of our goal here at Putting Fruit Inside Of Other Fruit is to explore purely theoretical fruit combinations, another part is to discover delicious new ways to eat fruit.

SO: If your goal is merely to create a delicious snack, I would recommend stopping at the STRAWSBLUEBERRINE.  This is a truly delicious combination of fruits, and I would contend that it is substantially more pleasurable to eat than just eating any of those fruits separately.  It isn’t too difficult to make or too messy to eat, and it will impress your friends as well as that cute girl you’ve had your eye on. Try it!  I guarantee you’ll like it!*

*Not a guarantee

We’ll return next week with more exciting fruit combinations.  If you have any requests/ideas/recommendations, don’t hesitate to let us know!

STRAWSPEACHBLUEBERANGERMELON (Part II)

PREVIOUSLY ON PUTTING FRUIT INSIDE OF OTHER FRUIT

And now, the thrilling conclusion…

So, when we left off, we had just finished making our strawspeachblueberangermelon.  Now its time to eat it.

Obviously this is no one man fruit.  So why not share it with your sweetie? A perfect date night meal!

Romantic!

Now, you’re going to need to carve this bad boy.  I won’t lie to you - it won’t be easy.  Theres all kinds of different consistencies in here, so forget about getting a nice tidy slice.  You’re just going to have to tear right into it and hope for the best.

It might not be pretty, but when you get all that fruit onto the plate, it is delicious!

YUM!

STRAWSPEACHBLUEBERANGERMELON (Part I)

Step One: Make yourself a Strawspearblueberange. OR do the same thing, except substitute a peach for the pear.  You may recall that my pear experiment (ex-pear-iment?) from yesterday was a failure, so today I decided to try using a peach. It was pretty good.

As you can see, I experimented with shaving some of the fruits down to make them fit better.  Try it!

Step Two: Get a mini watermelon!  Before today, I didn’t even know these existed, but they’re perfect for this purpose!

Yum!

Step Three: Hollow that bad boy out.

Theres going to be a lot of excess watermelon, so serve some to your friends!

And, while you’re hollowing it out, eat some of the tasty morsels that you dig out.  Eat them right off the knife for maximum badassness.

Step Four: Well, heres where things get complicated.  Once again I misjudged the size of my fruits.  The peach wasn’t really smaller than the pear, and the only oranges I had left weren’t much bigger than the peach.  Putting the strawspeachblueberrine inside the orange was out of the question, so I improvised.  Check this out:

Not bad, right?  Line the interior of the mini watermelon with orange slices.  This is a new sub-fruit I like to call “orangermelon”. And then, as usual, put the strawspeachblueberrine…

…INSIDE THE ORANGERMELON!!!

Hey, it works!

Stay tuned for PART II: Eating The Strawspeachblueberangermelon!

I think I broke the blog by trying to upload too many images. Stay tuned for when I figure out how to teach you all about the delicious STRAWSPEARBLUEBERANGERMELON.

STRAWSPEARBLUEBERANGE

Step One: Make a strawspearblueberrine.

Step Two: Get an orange. For reasons that will become apparent presently, I would strongly suggest getting the biggest damn orange you can get your hands on.

Step Three: Hollow out the orange.

This is a delicate operation. You want to create the most possible room inside the orange while also maintaining the structural integrity. Its also really juicy and messy, so put a paper towel or two down to save time on clean up later.

Step Four: You guessed it. Put the strawspearblueberrine…

…INSIDE THE ORANGE!!!

WHA-WHA-WHAAAAAT?

*sound of record scratch*

Yep, I blew it. My pear was too big, or my orange was too small, and the result was a big damn mess.

In a situation like this, theres really only one thing you can do: hold the sucker together with your hands and get in there any way you can.

This also results in very flattering photos of yourself, as you can see.

Step Five: Enjoy! As usual, make sure to do this outside and try not to juice all over your new shirt.

So, what have we learned? At this stage in the fruit putting inside of other fruit game, you have to be very aware of the sizes and integrity of the fruits you’re using. Next time, I’ll probably try to shave some of the outside off the pear to ensure that it fits inside the orange without too much difficulty.

A Note Regarding Leftovers: At this point, the astute fruit-manipulator will have noticed the amount of leftovers from the middle of the fruits. Obviously, we here at Putting Fruit Inside of Other Fruit would never advocate the wasting of perfectly good fruit bits, so here are some suggestions for what to do with the leftovers.

-Eat Them
This is the easiest and most obvious choice, but eating the core of fruits is kind of weird and gross, so you might want to not do it.

-Juice Them
Juice rules. If you have a good juicer, you can juice just about any fruit and get a delicious and healthy breakfast drink.

-Save them for later
Freeze them, and use them later for baking or smoothies.

-Throw them at people
Hilarious.

Anonymous asked: You must somehow get a fig involved.

Is a fig a fruit?  Wikipedia says yes. Interesting.

Note from Management

Tomorrow is ‘Tumblr Tuesday’.  It is also my birthday.  Would you please do whatever it is you need to do to make this blog be featured or something?  I’m trying to spread the multi fruit love.  Thank you in advance.

STRAWSPEARBLUEBERRINE

Step One: Make yourself a strawsblueberrine.

Step Two: Get yourself a pear.  You could also use an apple, but I find that a pear’s juicy deliciousness is better suited to the nature of this experiment.  That said, make sure that you get the juiciest pear possible.  Mine was disappointingly dry.

As always, make sure the pear is bigger around than the strawsblueberrine.

Step Three: Hollow out the pear.

This was actually a lot harder than I’d anticipated.  I think that if the pear had been juicier it would have been a lot easier to cut through.  As you can see from the picture, I had to dig the innards out one littler shard at a time.  But it takes more than a tough pear to discourage me!

Step Four: Awwww yeah. Put the strawsblueberrine…

…INSIDE THE PEAR!!!

Step Five: Look at this beautiful thing.  You could shellac it and sell it in stores as decoration.  But you’re not going to do that, are you?  No you’re not, you’re going to EAT it, baby!

This is decidedly an outdoor food - the combination of juices can be pretty messy.  Also pretty delicious and pretty awesome.

We’ve definitely entered the multi-bite realm here, but you’re going to get the best results if you get as much as possible in your first bite.  Don’t be shy, just tear right into it, nobodies judging you.

See? Delicious.  Now, at this point you’re more or less eating a pear, but if you did the first bite right, you’ll be left with some bonus morsels of strawberry and tangerine to liven up the experience.

Awesome.
