The perfect accompaniment to a laid-back crock-pot or barbecue grill meal-loaded with fruit, sweet crunchy nuts, a hint of maple, and the freshness of lemon! *Created for RSC #10* Ingredients:
1 cup pecan halves |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1 apple, cored, diced |
1 orange, peeled, chopped |
1 cup fresh pineapple chunk, bite-size |
1 large banana, sliced |
1 cup golden raisin |
1/2 lemon, zest of |
1/8 cup maple syrup |
Directions:
1. In a large serving bowl, add fruit in order given.
2. Sprinkle lemon zest over fruit; stir all.
3. Drizzle syrup over everything, stir again.
4. Serve!
5. How easy was THAT?.
6. VARIATIONS: Figure one fruit per serving (5 fruits = five servings), so try some others-mango or peach chunks, pitted sweet cherries, hulled strawberries, grapes, ripe raspberries or blueberries-do NOT add too many different fruits or the flavors sort of turn to an indefinable mush -double up instead.
7. SUBSTITUTIONS: Honey=syrup; orange zest=lemon.
8. IDEA: try it warmed up in the microwave OR serve warm over puff pancakes or waffles.
