Making fruit cups is a delightful and refreshing way to enjoy a variety of seasonal fruits. Here’s a simple guide to crafting your own delicious fruit cups at home.
Ingredients:
- A selection of fresh fruits, such as strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, orange, and apple
- A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice
- Optional: a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of mint leaves for added flavour
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by washing all your fruits thoroughly under cold water to remove any pesticides or dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
-
Chopping: Carefully chop the larger fruits into bite-sized pieces. For example, slice the strawberries and kiwi, and dice the apple. Leave smaller fruits like blueberries whole.
-
Mixing: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the chopped fruits. Toss gently to mix them evenly without bruising delicate pieces.
-
Dressing: To keep your fruit looking fresh and to enhance the flavours, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice over the mixture. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, drizzle a bit of honey and stir gently.
-
Serving: Spoon the mixed fruit into individual cups or bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an attractive finish.
- Chill and Enjoy: For an extra refreshing treat, chill the fruit cups in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. They make a perfect snack for any occasion!
Whether as a refreshing snack or a light dessert, homemade fruit cups are not only easy to make but also a healthy and vibrant addition to your meals. Enjoy!
