DON'T BE AFRAID TO COOK FRUIT

You probably find this more in oriental cooking, but don't be afraid to get your fruit by cooking it and using it as a sauce or topping for meat, rice, or with vegetables. Here are some ideas

• cook apples cut in wedges and serve with pork chops
• puree apples and add to gravy for pork roast
• top your ham with pineapple
• cook chicken with peaches and raisons
• cook mango, mandarin oranges, and peaches and pour over chicken breasts
• broil grapefruit and add a bit of sugar for breakfast
• cook pineapple, onions, tomatoes and green peppers to serve over rice

Don't be afraid to experiment, you may find you've created a dish your whole family will love!
