Answer 2

We serve a traditional Ambrosia. The recipe is as follows:

Into a large bowl prepare as follows:

6 Red apples cored, and cut into small bite size pieces
6 Oranges that have been sectioned and seeded, squeeze the juice from the cups after you section them over the apples. (this keeps them from browning)
1 jar of maraschino cherries cut in halves
1/2 pound sweet green grapes cut in halves
4 bananas peeled and sliced
2 cups coconut flakes
2 cups miniature marshmallows
2 cups of walnut pieces, (or other nut of your choice)

Toss gently and cover tightly. Store in the fridge until well chilled.
This salad will keep for 72 hours. I recommend that you make this either the morning you need it or late night the night before.
Happy Holidays and happy eating!

Answer 3

PEARS WITH HERBED RICOTTA AND HONEY

(15-oz) container whole-milk ricotta
5 tablespoons mild honey
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
3 firm-ripe Anjou or Bosc pears, peeled if desired
1/3 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
Garnish: fresh thyme sprigs

Stir together ricotta, 2 tablespoons honey, thyme, 1 tablespoon basil, 1 tablespoon mint, and a pinch of salt.
Halve pears lengthwise and scoop out core with a melon-ball cutter or spoon. Leaving stem end intact, cut each pear half lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and gently press against a work surface to create a fan shape.

Divide cheese mixture among plates and top with a pear half. Drizzle remaining 3 tablespoons honey over pears and sprinkle evenly with pine nuts and remaining tablespoon each of basil and mint.

Answer 6

All fruits are fresh vegetables. A "vegetable" is a plant, any part of which is employed for food.

Answer 7

In the superstore, fruits are usually picked out far too soon. Some are rocks, many are wrong. Some of the fruit and vegetables are right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.

Answer 8

ooohhh...I love this stuff:

Canned peaches
fresh strawberries
fresh bananas

Combine ingredients in a big bowl. Let sit in fridge overnight. enjoy!
