I'm not at all good with desserts. My favorite thing
after a big meal is fruit. I know, you`re going to say
"how boring!"Just give me a chance. I have some tricks
in my apron pocket! I`ll give you just a few ideas now.

GRAPES...why not run them under cold water, dust with
regular sugar and put them in the freezer for an hour?
They won`t last long enough on your table to defrost.
Try mixing a bowl of different colored grapes.

PEACHES....Take about 1 peach per person, especially
in the winter.(These Chili fruits look great, but
their flavor is missing something.) Slice them in
wedges, sprinkle with cinnamon, add a tbls of some
liqueur, any flavor and cover and cook in the
microwave for 5-7 min. Serve as you would applesauce
with a pork roast. It`s great with any roast. You can
also make a mixture of fruits for this, pear,
nectarine,plums...use your immagination.
STRAWBERRIES.....The season is coming soon and I want
you all prepared for this one. It`s the best. I can`t
tell you how much to make for how many people, because
no matter how much you make it will NEVER be enough.
Wash strawberrys well, THEN take off the top or any
bruises. (you don`t want to wash away any flavor) cut
each one in half or thirds if you must. Place in a
large bowl that has a secure cover or a large jar. Add
a few tbls sugar and the juice of a fresh lemon or
two. Fill your container 2/3 nearly covering
berries.Place the cover on and shake gently. Place in
refrig for at least 6 hour turning and shaking every
hour or so. You need not serve anything else with
this, just make sure to provide juice glasses and a
ladle when the berries are done. Then just sit back
and relax.
