APPLES ...DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY WAYS TO ENJOY APPLES

APPLES . DELICIOUS AND  HEALTHY WAYS WITH APPLES.

The old saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"  is told to us at an early age. Like eat a carrot every day and you will have great eye sight.....look at the rabbits. No matter what, an apple a day is healthy and a great snack. At night it is the ideal fruit to snack on. Apples are great raw, grated, sliced, steamed, baked, made into fruit salad, apple pie, with granola and in so many dishes. Here are a few ideas for summer.

APPLE CIDER.......................... COLD WITH ICE CUBES.

 Prepare a large jug of apple cider without gas and add ice cubes, some chopped mint and a lemon slice. Chill and serve in tall glasses with a few ice cubes.

Take Apple juice and cook up on the stove in a pot with a little cinnamon, {the stick works well} a little honey and mint leaves. Add a bag of Green Tea or Lemon Fortune Delight {Sunrider} Let it come to the boil. Cool well and serve with chopped ice.

WATERMELON, GREEN GRAPES, MELON AND APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.

 Make a large fruit salad of sliced grapes{no pips} cut up watermelon, balls of melon and a  few chopped mint leaves. Add a can of apple cider juice and refrigerate. Serve cold .....delicious and cooling after a meal or as a starter.

  BAKED APPLES.    SEE THE BLOG OF    29^th March 2009  the Passover  page and see the Baked Apples

STEWED APPLES.

.

An all time favorite.  Take 8 Golden Delicious apples, peel and cube them  Place them in steamer with two cloves.  Steam them until soft and add a little honey and a dash of cinnamon.. Refrigerate and serve cold with yogurt or ice cream.

FRIED APPLE RINGS.

            These are a novel way to serve a desert with a ball of ice cream or custard. For parave , serve with Caramel Soya pudding or soya ice cream.

Core six apples, the Golden Delicious type. Slice carefully into rings and place in a dish with one tablespoon  brown sugar and two teaspoons of brandy. Cover and leave overnight.  Make a mixture of flour and apple juice and coat the apple slices with this Fry in butter and serve hot with the ice cream or custard on the side You must serve immediately, or leave in a dish in the oven.   Looks so different and your guests will love them.

APPLE SALAD, KOLRABI AND GREEN GRAPES.

 Peel and cube three Granny Smith apples,  peel and cube two Kolrabis, and  cut up one large cup of green grapes.  Remove pips and cut in half. Make a bed of lettuce and layer all these items on it. Grate  feta over it all and serve with a dressing of lemon, olive oil, crushed mint leaves and grated cucumber. . I use pomegranate pips when I have them as it is added color and taste.   Ideal summer salad..

  And lastly , when everyone is watching the Mondial, make a large platter of cut up apples and serve with nothing else.   This works wonders instead of heavy calorific snacks.

HAVE FUN............................RELAX AND MAKE SUMMER A PLEASURE .

LOVE AND LIGHT
