A HALF DOZEN FRUITFUL FINALES
|
No need to turn on the oven when you try these easy, healthful dessert ideas:
ï Make a refreshing fruit salad with cut grapes, nectarines, apples and pears; stir in a mixture of sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon or nutmeg. Let the flavors blend at room temperature during dinner and spoon into stemmed glasses for dessert.
ï Arrange slices of fresh Chilean fruit on a platter with almonds and a wedge of good cheeseóCheddar, Camembert or Roquefort, for example. Almost effortlessly, youíve created a sophisticated fruit and cheese platter.
ï Adopt a European custom: Just arrange bunches of grapes and whole fruit in a pretty bowl and set it on the dining table, along with dessert plates, knives and forks.
ï Spread cream cheese on shortbread cookies and top with sliced peaches; drizzle with warm seedless raspberry jam.
ï The easiest dessert fondue: heat fudge, toffee or caramel ice cream topping to dip grapes and wedges of apples, pears and apricots.
ï Freeze seedless grapes on a shallow pan; serve in tall glasses topped with a dollop of jam or chocolate sauce.
