A holiday favorite with my family for 22 years now - I actually won 1st place in the one and only cooking contest I entered years ago. Can be used as a side or dessert. I make it over 2 days, and it is well worth the time and effort! Actual hands-on cook time has been estimated since I really haven't paid attention to it ...

Samber Cinnamon Fruit Salad

Sat, 07 Apr 2007 23:24:31 -0400

This recipe came about when son Sam and daughter Amber conspired to "help" make breakfast one Saturday morning. We always figure one piece of fruit for each person eating (5 people = 5 fruits). Cooking time is figured for letting fruit sit for a few minutes make make its own syrup--you can skip this step if someone is "starving!" -- posted by Debber

Deluxe Dressing for Fruit Salads

Thu, 12 Apr 2007 20:47:05 -0400

My Aunt Mona served this dressing with a large bowl of mixed fruit 60 years ago. It has been a family favorite for special occasions ever since. She layered the fruits in a glass bowl so their colors and textures could be admired by everyone. The dressing was offered in a gravy boat or served in a separate bowl. These are some of the fruits she liked to use: pineapple pieces; diced apples; peaches; pears; melon chunks or balls; grapes; bananas; Mandarin orange segments--and even nuts and chopped dates. Feel free to use your favorites. Amount of servings depends upon how much fruit is used and how big the bowl is. -- posted by Joje in Oklahoma City, OK, United States

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
