Zap Your Fruit To
Add Some Zip!
Fresh fruit is getting scarce now
that cold weather is here. Many of
us rely on canned fruit, which loses
its appeal after a while. Combining
canned fruit with apples, bananas
or grapefruit is one way to get
some variety.
Another way to vary winter fruit
is to serve it hot! It is surprising
how the taste of grapefruit
changes, for example, when you
eat it warm! A microwave heats
the fruit quickly, without turning it
mushy. So, if you get tired of the
same old fruit this winter, try some
of these ideas for a change!
Canned peach or pear halves can
be “dressed up” for company or a
holiday meal. Place drained fruit
cut side up in a single layer in a
microwave serving dish. In the
center of each half put to 1
teaspoonful of a colorful jelly such
as current, cranberry or mint.
Microwave on high until the jelly
melts and coats fruit. (Tune
depends on quantity: about 1
minute for each half for one or two
halves; about 30 seconds for each
fruit half for larger quantities.)
Heat just before serving.
To fix hot grapefruit, cut and
section grapefuit, put on microsafe
bowl or plate for serving. If you
sweeten grapefruit with honey or
sugar, put on top before
microwaving. Microwave on high
for 45 to 60 seconds, for each half,
until hot.
This curried fruit is delicious
when served with ham or pork.
