The answers about folding in ingredients have been on target. Gently combining the ingredients.
However, the one distinction about folding in I learned, is that it is a mixing not in a circular motion around the bowl, but rather a bottom to top gentle stirring. So you gently push a spoon under the bottommost food and scoop it up, and over, the topmost food. I then turn the bowl about a quarter of the way around and do it again. And again. And again until I think things have been incorporated. The whole notion of folding in is not to squash or moosh the tender food but to keep it, as much as possible in its original form--such as green beans--or in the case of the recipe I provided, fruit. I hope this clarifies a bit. If not, please ask questions and I will continue to give explanations and answers.
