Fruit Hints
Recipe By :
Categories :
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
***** NONE *****
I'm not at all good with desserts. My favorite thing after a big meal is
fruit. I know, you`re going to say "how boring!"Just give me a chance. I
have some tricks in my apron pocket! I`ll give you just a few ideas now.
GRAPES...why not run them under cold water, dust with regular sugar and
put them in the freezer for an hour? They won`t last long enough on your
table to defrost. Try mixing a bowl of different colored grapes.
PEACHES....Take about 1 peach per person, especially in the winter.(These

Chili fruits look great, but their flavor is missing something.) Slice
them in wedges, sprinkle with cinnamon, add a tbls of some liqueur, any
flavor and cover and cook in the microwave for 5-7 min. Serve as you would
applesauce with a pork roast. It`s great with any roast. You can also make
a mixture of fruits for this, pear, nectarine,plums...use your
imagination. STRAWBERRIES.....The season is coming soon and I want you all
prepared for this one. It`s the best. I can`t tell you how much to make
for how many people, because no matter how much you make it will NEVER be
enough. Wash strawberries well, THEN take off the top or any bruises. (you
don`t want to wash away any flavor) cut each one in half or thirds if you
must. Place in a large bowl that has a secure cover or a large jar. Add a
few tbls sugar and the juice of a fresh lemon or two. Fill your container
2/3 nearly covering berries.Place the cover on and shake gently. Place in
refrig for at least 6 hour turning and shaking every hour or so. You need
not serve anything else with this, just make sure to provide juice glasses
and a ladle when the berries are done. Then just sit back and relax.
