Fastest Way to Add Character at First, End and Between of each string in List of string

Question

This is my list: ``` List elements = new List { "apple", "orange", "peach" }; ``` I need a method with this return value: ``` string result = "'apple', 'orange', 'peach'"; ``` As you see the result add `"'"` to the first of each string, also at the end of them, then all of them joined with `", "`. So what is your suggestion to do it fast and fluent? also consider performance issues, and maybe this list have been a lot of elements, how about that?

string result = string.Join(", ", elements.Select(e => "'" + e + "'"));
