Pina Colada Marinated Watermelon-Pineapple Salad

Thu, 05 Jun 2003 20:00:40 -0400

I made this up this weekend (Memorial Day weekend) because I was in the mood for experimentation, using my newly acquired extract collection, and for the taste of pina coladas. Feel free to adjust extracts to taste or even use the real things in the appropriate substitution amounts ;) I'm sure you can skip straight to step 7 if you wish; omitting the 3 cups water and first listed extract amounts. *Maybe try freezing it and bleding into a smoothie later or making sorbet (not a bad idea...) -- posted by nomnom

Whatever. I just know this sounds REALLY tasty, especially for a summer afternoon when the fruits are fresh and in season. Obviously, with a recipe of this sort, other fruits that strike your fancy can be added or substituted. -- posted by ckmclements

This drink is also very good with light Rum or Coconut Rum to replace the vodka! I haven't tested it with Lemon Flavored Vodka, yet, but I imagine that would also be good. -- posted by Bev

Minty Fresh French Aperitif and Appetiser Charentais Melon Bowls

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:47:13 -0400

An appetiser and aperitif all in one sunny melon bowl - I use the local Pineau des Charentes to fill up these charentais melon starters, but white port, fino sherry or any fortified wine would be just as good. Charentais melons are grown mainly in SW France and Spain and have a smooth pale green to creamy yellow skin. The very juicy flesh is deep orange in colour and it is one of the best dessert melons; they are also great in fruit salads, as well as being used as a refreshing starter course - as in this recipe. Preparation time includes the 4 hours to chill prior to serving them. If you cannot get fresh mint sprigs - use any attractive, edible leaves or herbs - maybe even a flower. -- posted by French Tart

I "adjusted" the original of this recipe which came from "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone", a fabulous cookbook by Deborah Madison which won Julia Child and James Beard awards (I'm not vegetarian, it's just a great book!). I always keep Costco's 3 Berry Mix in my freezer. I use these frozen berries, but use fresh if you prefer. I like the texture the thawing berry's have in the soup as well as the unexpected chill they add to each bite. This is really an easy recipe to adapt, be creative, go wild! -- posted by Mrs Goodall

Peachy Fresh Fruit Salad With a Flourish of Angelica and Mint!

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:00:08 -0400

This was the first thing I was taught to make at secondary school in Domestic Science! We were all taught to make basic lemon syrup for the fruit salad, a great classic and a standard recipe that I have never forgotten! However, here I have deviated a little and have taken advantage of some excellent local peach syrup instead of the homemade lemon syrup I usually make; and I have garnished the salad with mint and angelica from my herb garden. I have suggested certain fruits to use, but the beauty of a fresh fruit salad is that you can always rustle one up with whatever you have locally and to hand. Serve with fresh pouring cream for a real treat! -- posted by French Tart

Source: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking This dessert is best made when fresh local berries are available. It looks especially pretty if you garnish each serving with a strawberry fan. To make the fans simply slice strawberry from tip almost but not completely through, then fan out slices. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario
