One of the best things you can do for
yourself is to eat healthy. So for our get-away weekend, we thought a fruit
salad would be just the call. Here's our tutti-frutti recipe:
Ingredients: （成分）
cherries （樱桃）
green and red grapes, seedless （无核葡萄）
strawberries （草莓）
blueberries （蓝莓）
bananas （香蕉）
apples （苹果）
clementines （小柑桔）
kiwi
papaya （番木瓜）
¼ cup
granulated sugar, （糖水）
juice of one lemon （柠檬汁）
4 tbsps water
fresh mint, chopped
*Pre-wash all of your fruit.
**If you're not really a fruit eater, you
might only want to use two or three (but we've assembled a whole bunch to share
with you).
Method:（做法）
Remove stems from cherries, grapes and
blueberries; add to bowl.
Trim off tops of strawberries, then add
them in whole.
Peel off the skin and remove the tiny,
white fibres from the clementines (a suggestion to do with any fruit); add to
bowl.
Trim top and bottom off kiwi, peel off the
skin, slice and then add.
Cut papaya in half, remove the little
seeds, slice and then add.
Using a carving knife, trim top and bottom
off pineapple, then slice downwards along the sides, following its curve.
Slice, then add to bowl.
Cut apple in half, take out core, slice and
then add to bowl. Slice bananas; then add.
(Note: with both bananas and apples, the
trick is to put them in right at the last minute because they have a tendency
to brown, as do pears).
In a separate bowl, add sugar, lemon juice,
water and fresh mint. Mix, then pour on the fruit.
Mix up the fruit salad really well, to
incorporate all of the wonderful colours of your fruits.
Pick out an attractive bowl in which to
present it to yourself.
One final reminder: just because life looks
like a bowl of cherries (and other great things…) right now, don't forget to
watch out for the pits. And there you have it! An absolutely gorgeous fruit
salad, perfect for your entire weekend. Enjoy!
