Using up fresh fruit

mookybargirl

It's been a while since I've posted properly - been around though doing pigsback and making lots of christmassy bits.

We've now started getting fruit at work but for the next week, there's far too much and people are being encouraged to take loads home.

There's apples, bananas, plums, pears and satsumas. What can I make and maybe take back into work for people to eat? Or any other suggestions welcome.

Not too much effort though, cos I'm a bit short of time this week

Stewed fruit for crumbles.

Stewed fruit with ice cream

If you have a juicer/ blender whizz it all up for a healthy drink?

You could make a banana loaf
165g sugar
150g self raising flour
3 ripe bananas
Mix ingridients together
pour into a loaf tin
180c for 30 minutes
Tastes great and no fat.
I would also juice apple and pears. Together they tast great.

I love a good fresh fruit salad, especially with the variety of fruit you have there. Chopped all neat and small, looks very tempting. Serve with sorbet, or just on its own.

If its for yourself, what about serving it with weet-a-bix or meusli with natural yoghurt

Thanks, crumbles sound good,

I can use the apples and plums for these. Am I safe to assume I can then freeze them for using up later?

Now for the daft question, how do I stew them?

stewing fruit is simply
cut into small chunks
put in pan
sling in some sugar
low heat for a bit until they look right

Im from the "just try this" school of cookery - works out well usually, its not an exactl science, its an Art

Have lots of kiwis and pears leftover from last 2 weeks deliveries, any easy ideas what i can make with them. Such a shame to waste them.

Hi, there! Smoothies spring to mind - blend 1 peeled and cored pear, 2 peeled kiwis and a small tub of yogurt. That's enough for 2 of my children.

Alternatively, Chipps's cobbler.

We always get kiwi's left, as my children don't eat them - strangely they will eat them in a crumble though! You could make a tropical crumble with kiwi, mango and banana - not nearly as disgusting as it sounds:D .

Do you just place uncooked fruits in then top with normal crumble mix and bake or do you cook fruits.
