I love Baltimore Orioles! Previously I had only seen a few in my life, and it was always exciting to see their beautiful, bright orange color and hear their lovely song. Listen to their call here. Since I moved to this wooded area they are numerous. We sometimes have two or more on the feeder at the same time. Yesterday I watched a mama Oriole feeder her youngster a piece of orange. I never knew before a few weeks ago that Orioles like all kinds of fruit. I found this recipe for Oriole fruit salad. I can't wait to try it, but I think I'll cut it in half. In this heat I won't want to put out too much at a time.
If you give it a try, let me know your results. I'll be interested to hear how it works for you.
1 c. cherries
2 oranges
1 c. raspberries
1 c. grape jelly
2 c. diced peaches
1 c. blackberries
2 c. diced pears
1.2 c. cornmeal
Use fresh, frozen & thawed, or canned fruit
Cut oranges, cherries, peaches, and pears into small beak-sized pieces.
Toss all the fruit together in a large bowl.
Heat the jelly in the microwave for 30 sec. to 1 min. until thin.
Stir the jelly then pour over fruit. Mix until the fruit is well coated.
Sprinkle cornmeal over mixture and stir again.
Serve in a shallow dish on a separate table feeder.
Refrigerate the remainder in a container and use within a few days.
