The unique wraps McHugh de
veloped enhance flavors and pro
tect freshness of foods by pre
venting moisture loss and by
blocking oxygen that could cause
unattractive browning.
For example, the thin, apple
flavored wraps that McHugh
made from pureed apples intensi
fy the flavor of apple slices and
keep them from discoloring and
shrinking. Her wrap made of
strawberries complements the
flavor of banana slices while
keeping them fresh. McHugh’s
wrap from pureed peaches might
be used to cover meat and then
provide a tasty, attractive glaze
when the meat is cooked.
