Do you like Fruit? Let’s prepare together the Breakfast Waffles with Fall Fruit and Candied Ginger from the Fabbri Family! One of their new products that won everyone over here in my family, we’ve already enjoyed it with the Ginger and Chocolate Chip Pound Cake and fell in love with it!
Today I propose to use it in a no-bake recipe, a tasty yet light breakfast, full of fall fruit that is special this time of year! From colors to flavors, to textures, it’s perfect to start the day, whether before work or school or why not for Sunday breakfast all together at the kitchen table.
Would you like to prepare Breakfast for the whole family? How often do we have breakfast in a hurry? If you, too, are part of this category of people who never seem to find time to prepare something good I’m sorry, but I suggest you take a moment a few minutes to dedicate to the preparation of this recipe with seasonal fruit because it’s truly delicious and will put you in a good mood to start your day right.
I thought of this recipe starting from a premise: I wanted to use seasonal fruit for a recipe without needing to turn on the oven to prepare a good and genuine breakfast perfect for everyone! The only moment of brief cooking is on the stove to parboil the pears to prevent them from browning. For the rest, we’ll just need a cutting board, a knife, two plates, and a toaster.

Ingredients for Breakfast with Fall Fruit and Candied Ginger
- 0.7 oz candied ginger (in my case from the Fabbri Family 1905)
- 2 purple figs (if you can find them, otherwise don't worry)
- 2 Abate pears
- 2 plums
- a few walnuts
- a few grapes (be it white, pink, or black or all three if you find them)
- 4 snacks, like industrial brioche (in my case 4 Waffles)
I used ready-made waffles for convenience but of course this recipe lends itself to many variations: you can indeed choose pancakes to top with fruit, crepes toast bread or as my grandmother Sandra would say classic and always delicious toasted bread slices.
Small preface to the recipe and a big thank you goes to the guys at The Garden of Pietro in the center here in Porto San Giorgio! Moreno when he sees me entering asks right away: what do you need for your Recipes? I always find what I’m looking for with them, we created the fruit combinations together, I found fruit from the Valdaso area, the Pomegranates are actually theirs, the pears from one company, the grapes from another. In short, buying products like this is wonderful, unique products from our territory that we often forget due to consumerism and that instead should always be rewarded! If you think about it, I simply excluded fruit that isn’t Italian yet, that comes from too far away and if it’s not in season it costs more than when local products arrive on the market stalls.
Tools to Prepare Breakfast with Fall Fruit and Candied Ginger
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Knife
- 2 Plates
- 1 Spoon
- 1 Small pot
- 1 Nutcracker
Steps of the Breakfast Waffles Recipe with Fall Fruit and Candied Ginger
We start by bringing some water to a gentle boil in a small pot, we will use it to parboil the pears to prevent them from browning. Meanwhile, wash and dry all the fruit at our disposal, then the grapes, the plums, and the pears. Crack the pomegranate and slowly remove the seeds. Break the walnuts with a nutcracker.
Then prepare all the ingredients we will use by placing them on a wooden cutting board, with a knife we will cut slices or wedges, as you find more convenient and set them aside for when it will be time to assemble the breakfast with fall fruit. Parboil the pears for a few seconds and then cool them immediately under the stream of cold water from the sink. Also cut them into slices or wedges. Cut the figs in half and then again in half.
Take two small plates and scoop candied ginger from the iconic Fabbri 1905 jar with a spoon into a small bowl, it will be used for the final garnish of the breakfast! Warm or toast some bread, pancakes, crepes or in my case waffles. You can use a toaster, a pan or a small oven, the result doesn’t change much. I have one of those toasters with lids, those 80s style ones that I love.
We are finally ready to plate the breakfast for the whole family, how nice it is to take care of others?! Whether before going to work, before school or for Sunday breakfast it is always a moment of sharing, of conversation, of smiles and relaxing a bit before continuing with the rest of the day.
So let’s take the two plates and place the waffles, then take the various fruit wedges and place them at our pleasure and quantity on top of the waffles or the base you have chosen to use. Finally, the candied ginger, we will use its thick liquid as if it were honey and place here and there some candied ginger balls.
Let’s prepare coffee or cappuccino or tea and sit at the table, the fall breakfast is served! All that’s left is to wish you a good appetite and remind you that I await you every day here on my blog with many easy, quick, and delicious recipes like this one!
Of course in my mind this recipe is for preparing breakfast, no one forbids you from enjoying this delicious fall fruit for a snack. The return to school is often really traumatic for kids, school that indeed resumed in September, the rhythms are still slow but the demand for energy is high. Consider that for our body we are still facing the end of summer and preparing for the long winter.
So these colors, these fragrances, and these flavors can help us face autumn with a new spirit, to see the light even where there isn’t any! I love autumn, its colors, the falling leaves that color our cities, the wait for the month of December because it marks the beginning of Christmas preparations! In short, the magic that these months hold is all to be discovered, even through simple and genuine fruit recipes!

Advice and Variations of the Recipe
As anticipated you can replace the waffles with crepes, toast bread, pancakes or simple bread cut into slices and lightly toasted either in a pan or with a toaster. You’ll just need a base to create the fall breakfast with seasonal fruit.
Then without needing to tell you but I write it anyway since maybe someone in the next few days will tell me on social profiles, of course, you can vary or add other fruit types, I didn’t take the oranges because they weren’t Italian yet, I didn’t take the kiwis because they were from New Zealand, I didn’t add the tangerines because they were Spanish, in short, I looked for Italian fruit, seasonal fruit and possibly not too far from my home. Fortunately, my Garden of Pietro always has what I’m looking for!
