Fejø Frugt - the fruit sellers from Fejø 2022

Fruit sellers from Fejø come to Nyhavn every Autumn to sell their freshly-harvested pears, apples and plums on the quayside. They also have fruit juice, plum marmelade and fruit vinegar from the island and they are more than happy to let you taste the fruit and to answer questions about their orchards and about the fruit they produce.

All the fruit is fantastic but, in particular, it’s the Clara pears that that seem to me to epitomise all that is distinct and best about Danish seasonal food They are a distinct, almost luminous green and are crisp with plenty of juice and are good as an easy snack or with cheese. I can’t remember ever seeing them in England and they are seen here in Denmark only at this time of year.

The boats and the fruit sellers are in Nyhavn from today and through to Sunday 11 September 2022.
