Our kids love having fruit with our meals, to them, a big bowl of fruit with some granola is the greatest breakfast...works for me! This recipe helps to combine 4-6 different fruits in one fantastic dish.
If you use bananas, make sure you don't slice & mix in till you are pretty much ready to eat or they will turn brown on you!
1/3 c sugar (or 3/4 c agave nectar)
1/4 c fresh mint or lemon verbena leaves (optional, but def. adds fantastic flavor, very easy to grow in a pot!)
2 Tbs lemon or lime juice
2 c seedless grapes, halved
2 peaches, or nectarines, cut into 1 1/2" pieces
1 c sliced strawberries and/or whole raspberries
1 c blueberries
bananas, apples, kiwi, etc...
Bring sugar and 1/2 c water to a boil in a saucepan. Simmer 2 min. Remove from heat, stir in mint & lemon juice (or lime). Steep 15 min. Strain out mint.
Combine fruit in a lg bowl. Stir in sugar syrup.
Cover & chill 2 hours or overnight.
be creative, let the kids help pick out fruit & if old enough, chop up & mix it all together. Helping out in the kitchen generally helps get more of it on their plates & into them!
