Which Fruits Are Trending in November in Ireland?
by Mónica Pineda November marks the end of autumn in Ireland.Days get shorter, the weather turns colder, and nature begins to rest.
Still, this month brings a selection of flavorful fruits that add color, freshness, and energy to everyday meals. Even though local harvests slow down, both Irish and imported fruits shine during this season.
Local fruits in November
Irish apples
The undisputed star of autumn and early winter. Locally grown apples remain available thanks to post harvest storage.
They’re versatile, nutritious, and perfect for eating fresh, baking into pies, or making warm compotes.
Pears While Ireland doesn’t have large pear production, European pears are still widely available. Sweet and juicy, they pair beautifully with cheese or can be used in warm desserts.
Late season blackberries In some regions, the very last wild blackberries of the year can still be found. They’re great for sauces, jams, or to accompany autumn desserts.
