Fresh Fruit
No Complicated Ingredients
All you need:
- Assorted fresh fruit
- Fresh lemon juice or Fruit Fresh*
- Bamboo Skewers
- Your favorite yogurt for dipping, optional
Directions:
Prepare fruit by cutting it into bite size pieces. Apples and bananas may begin turning brown from oxidation; they should be sprinkled with lemon juice or Fruit Fresh so they don’t discolor. Also, hard fruits such as apples tend to split when skewered, so keep the pieces big enough to easily accommodate the skewer. Arrange fruit on bamboo skewers in an attractive pattern. Serve with your favorite yogurt for dipping, if desired.
Quick Notes:
*Fruit Fresh is a powdered ascorbic acid blend that can be sprinkled on fruit to prevent browning. It’s great for fruit salads, kabobs or fruit platters. If you prefer, you can also toss freshly cut fruit with a little lemon or lime juice to keep it from browning.
