No trip to Manhattan was complete for me unless I had spent some serious
time in Blooomie's houseware, cookware, tableware, etc., departments. :-)

I bought the jewled fruit there perhaps a decade ago, but it looks like
new.

I did find this on the web after a very brief look, but it's only pears.

My fruit includes, pears, apples, pomegranites, grapes, and berries.
Surely there must be a source somewhere.

I try to find another source if you're interested.

Best...
