Spicy Fruit Salad


Fruity Kisses


Warm fruit in a juice which tastes like cordial served with a crunchy light meringue.  This dish feels like your tongue is being kissed :) ... Well that's how I felt anyway.  Boy do I love cooking.

This recipe was adapted from 'The Best of Sainsbury's Vegetarian Cooking' (Reed International Books Ltd, 1992).

Ingredients:

125g (4oz) apricots, 150ml (1/4 pint), orange juice, 1tbsp clear honey, a pinch of ground cinammon, 25g (1oz) raisins, 2 bananas, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 150g (5oz) natural yogurt

Method:

1. Place apricots in a spall saucepan with the orange juice, honey cinnamon and raisins.
2. Cook over a gentle heat until soft, but do not let the apricots become mushy.
3. Allow to cool slightly.
4. Slice the bananas, and toss in lemon juice..
5. Combine with apricots and raisins.
6. Serve with yogurt and meringue. (see my quick meringue recipe)

Saffy's Top Tip

I used apple juice rather than orange juice and chopped up a wedge of orange. Be creative and mix up your fruits to your taste.
