This week's #CookBlogShare round up includes five fantastic fruity recipes from chutney to creamy desserts and fantastic fruity bakes.
It never fails to take me by surprise how quickly the four weeks fly by until it's my turn to host #CookBlogShare again. To be honest, this whole summer seems to have flown by and it feels like its gone in a blink of an eye. Here we are in September thinking about autumn bakes and more hearty dishes. How did that happen? That said, last week seemed a long one. My poor little cat Nutmeg got hit by a car and for a while, I was really worried about her. Concentration to write my blog posts went out the window. I'm glad to report that although still limping around the house she is now on the mend. With the start of the great British Bake Off on TV I had intended as in the past to bake along each week but as yet I have still to make and write my Biscuit week post. I shall try to catch up this week, but is entirely possible I may just have to miss week one altogether.
Luckily #CookBlogShare has been ticking along nicely in the background. This month we have had two guests hosts who both did the most amazing job. So my heartfelt thanks to Rebecca at Glutarama and Midge at The Peachick Bakery for hosting. They have done such a great job, I feel I should be upping my game. To reflect that guests host will now be a regular feature on #CookBlogShare, we have redesigned the #CookBlogShare badge. I hope you like it.
Five Fantastic Fruity Recipes
So now for my favourites from last weeks linky, as always there are many great recipes to choose from but these stood out as my fruity favourites.
Apple Crumble Cake
Like Jenny from Apply to face blog I love a crumble cake. " All that buttery nubbleness on top is just so moreish and delicious." Her words not mine but boy is she so right. I have three apple trees in my cottage garden in Suffolk, so I make a lot of apple cakes and would love to try Jenny's Apple Crumble Cake as it looks so good.
Blackberry Upside Down Cake
Staying with cakes this Blackberry Upside Down Cake from The Foodie Journey looks like a delicious way to use up some of those juicy autumn blackberries that have been so plentiful if a little early this year.
Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins with Maple syrup & Healthy Blueberry Desserts with Cream Cheese
Monika's from Everyday Healthy Recipes use fresh or frozen fruit in the two blueberry recipes she linked up so you can enjoy these all year round. If you need a gluten free fruity bakes then check out her Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins with Maple syrup or try these rather dreamy looking Healthy Blueberry Desserts with Cream Cheese.
Spicy Courgette and Apple Chutney
Finally, we have a Spicy Courgette and Apple Chutney from Janice at Farmersgirl Kitchen, its hard to beat a homemade jams, chutney or preserve. I love the funky chilli serving spoon in the pic too.

Aww sorry to hear about your cat - I hope he's ok now? What a lovely round up - that apple crumble cake is calling my name!

Shes getting better but it has made her very timid. I've just made an apple and cinnamon traybake cake. Its a regular of mine apple cakes in all form are calling my name just now.

I know, I know: where did the summer go?! I so want to pump the breaks, because I'm not ready for pumpkin-spiced everything and Christmas decorations (too late: I ALREADY SAW SOME! GAH!). Comfort food, though? I'm always in the mood for that. This roundup has such great variety. These all look so gorgeous and yummy!
Michelle Rolfe
These look delicious! I do love a fruit bake of any kind, makes me feel slightly healthy!:-) I hope your little cat is feeling better! What a shame, poor thing, but I do love the name Nutmeg!:-)
Jenny Paulin
I think I missed out seeing as though my linked up bake is a fruit one!!! Some tasty looking recipes featured here- yummy x
Lizet Bowen
Delicious recipes! I'll be trying that chutney recipe to enjoy with some samosas. Yum!
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
I'm sure the chutney would go very well with samosas
Sylvie
All of those recipes just made me so hungry! Thanks for sharing mine 🙂
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
You are welcome
Monika Dabrowski
Thank you so much for featuring my recipes! You are very generous! I'll be back soon with a new recipe.
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
Welcome I couldn't see any reason why I shouldn't include both. They both looked fab and i couldn't pick one over the other
Mandy
Ooh these all look SO good! But that blackberry upside down cake has really caught my eye.
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
Yes it does look good indeed
Balvinder
Since I am more into sugar free treats so I love desserts where fruits are involved.
Corina Blum
It does seem like Autumn has come very quickly, doesn't it? Just to be contrary I've linked up a salad! I do love all these fruity bakes though - I'm very tempted by some of them and they would be great as after-school treats!
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
I'm still eating salads, albeit more substantial ones. I'm not prepared to say good bye to summer completely yet
Jenny Walters
Fabulous round up and thanks so much for including mine Jacqui. I can’t seem to keep up with all my apples!Love the new Cook, Blog,Share look!
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
We juice a lot of our apples. My apple crop is much smaller this year at least with my early ripening tree as the fruit is much smaller due i guess to the lack of rain
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
You are welcome that chutney looks good
Janice
I loved those fruity recipes, thanks for including my Courgette and Apple Chutney.

Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
It does indeed - Far too quick for my liking
Eb Gargano | Easy Peasy Foodie
Great roundup, Jacqui! I could eat them all. But my favourite is definitely Monika's blueberry muffins - they look amazing!! I'm glad to hear your cat is a little better now. Fingers crossed she makes a full recovery. Great name! I once had a guinea pig called Nutmeg! Eb x
Jacqueline A Bellefontaine
Thanks Eb. Yes those blueberry muffins do look good and I love maple syrup.
Jhuls @ The Not So Creative Cook
