Fresh fruit is very nice.

Pineberries were available in M&S ages ago. They are white, pinkish looking strawberries that taste sort of like pineapple and smell like vanilla. But I only bought them once.
 
It's hard for me to get in the mood to eat fruit. Applesauce works sometimes. Canned is often easier to eat than fresh, but I rinse off the juice or syrup.
 
Apples from the farmer's market that have that balance of tart, and sweet tastes - apples that are not pulpy in taste and texture.
 
Honeycrisp apples are very nice.

I miss the days when Jazz apples were easier for me to find, though.
 
Usually have a fresh apple a day. The grocery store once had these HUGE Koru apples, they were delicious.
I planted two apple trees here, but nothing yet. The soil here is demineralized clay, very poor.
I like canned pears (in fruit juice) as I can eat them any time of the year. Frosty canned pears, and cold apples are perfecto on hot summers here!
 
It's citrus fruit season so I'm eating oranges and tangerines. I can't eat grapefruit because it conflicts with one of my medicines. :(

When I was growing up, "Santa Claus" always included an orange and some whole walnuts in our Christmas stockings. I did that with my kids, too, just because it was a family tradition. Does anyone know if that is an American thing or is that done in Europe, too?

It's a European tradition too (or in some parts at least). My parents did similar, tangerines usually, nut's and raisin's, walnuts, etc.
Used for sock fillers too, to keep us quiet early xmas morning and give them an extra 0.05 seconds sleep-in! 😉
But no sweets and suchlike until after lunch, a policy that at the time seemed to me to be grossly unbalanced since xmas was a time for a high availability of chocolate and other sugary treats.
