Uses for Ripe Fruit

RE: Uses for Ripe Fruit By Cathy (Guest Post) Recently, I bought some blueberries which went soft within 2 days. I mashed them, stirred in some cream and raw sugar and froze them for a seriously yummy natural icecream. Could work well with any fruit - melon, babnanas, strawberries, etc. Posted on 08/17/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Uses for Ripe Fruit By Cathy (Guest Post) Fruits usually go overripe with me because I don't use them quickly enough. Being short of time, I simply chuck them into a blender with some milk and icecream. Feel free to mix different types of fruits for great smoothies!

Contact Use fruits that have started to soften and put into a blender with a touch of juice or water. After doing this put in refrigerator and let sit for a while. (you may freeze and thaw for later use) After thawing, pour over ice cream, cereal, oatmeal etc. I have also used in baked goods. Also try vegetables this way. Use your imagination. Have fun with it.

It is a must that the Banana's are extremely ripe for the best flavor to make the banana bread perfect! We never throw away banana's that are turning brown-black. We can toss them in the freezer for later use or whip up a batch of banana bread and enjoy! I have a recipe that everyone loves, family, my children, to first time guests... BANANA BREAD: 1 Cup of Sugar 2 Eggs 1 Stick of Butter (softened) 2 Ripe Banana's 1 1/2 Cup Flour 1 teaspoon Baking Power 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda 1/2 teaspoon Salt Chopped Nuts if Desired Blend first 4 ingredients, beat in the remaining ingredients. Spray Loaf Pan, pour in batter, Bake for 50 minutes @ 350 degrees For Muffins, bake for 15 minutes @ 350 degrees ENJOY!!

We go to the farmers market and they discount the price because most people don't think about using them in ice cream when they are so ripe. They take a little longer to peel, but you will get raves for your dessert. Jeane in Texas Posted on 06/22/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Uses for Ripe Fruit By Racer.

Contact Use up fruits and or vegetables that have begun to soften and put in a blender or on top of stove to soften. Use a masher or a fork (a masher is preferable.) If you are using fruit, add a little juice or water. Use in preparing breads, muffins and use just a quarter of the oil or less if baking. If you are not baking. Mash up fruits, add a little water, pour over ice cream. By Sandi G Posted on 06/22/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
