Just about anything under the sun! Whole peppercorns are awesome also...I haven't gone down the smoked fruit road yet, but a friend of mine just did a fattie with smoked figs, said it was really good.

I have some nick thick pork chops that I am going to smoke, along with some pineapple and thought I would put a small pan of candied ginger in to see if it will absorb some smoke.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

Hard boiled eggs to make the most awesome egg salad. I haven't gotten around to making a cold smoker so I hot smoke peeled HB eggs for about 20-30 minutes. The first time I tried it I cracked all the eggs but didn't shell them. Came out very pretty but I found the smoke taste too light. Hot smoking the peeled eggs does make the whites a little rubbery but I find the taste improvement worth it.

I just smoked strawberries in our smoker for 15 min then finished them in the oven. I blended them in a food processor added thyme and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and honey. chopped up some fresh strawberries and sauteed them with some shallot and served with pan seared Columbia River Sturgeon. This stuff is amazing. Goes well with chicken, fish, or pork.

I'm smoking pineapple next. Serve it with some Hawaiian Ono.

What fruit have you smoked?

Dried banana peels. Oh, wait. Different kind of smoking. Sorry.

Actually, I'm eager to hear about your pineapple smoking results, apropos the interesting pineapple core forum.

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

Sounds like it would go with pork, maybe a pulled pork sandwich with a smoked apricot something or other. Maybe grilled pork tenderloin?
