Fruits

Maybe I am the only one – although I think that many are in the same boat as I. You buy fruit and lots of it too, with the intention to feed the family with healthy snacks. And suddenly they have expired their “due date” and are left behind in the fruit bowl. You throw it out as it just sits there attracting flyes.

However, – don’t throw it out!!

Most often expired fruit is excellent when used cooked up with a bit of sugar – you don’t need much as the fruit in itself turns very sweet when ripe. It is very easily caramelized and is great in sauces for meats. Or just simply – bake up a cake or muffins and feed the kids and their friends with a homemade after school treat..I guarantee, – this is consumed in no time at all. Apples, pears, apricots, plumbs, bananas….fruits are very versatile!
