Use a map of string slices to represent the fruit properties:

type Config struct {
  Description string
  Fruits map[string][]string
}

Printing the unmarshaled configuration with

fmt.Printf("%#v\n", config)

produces the following output (not including the whitespace I added for readability):

main.Config{Description:"fruits are delicious", 
     Fruits:map[string][]string{
          "lemon":[]string{"yellow", "sour"}, 
          "apple":[]string{"red", "sweet"}}}
