Finishing Touch Dressing
for Fresh Fruit
When I come across fresh fruit at it’s peak - I just want to look at it for a really long time. I’m almost afraid to do anything to change it’s natural beauty. I bought some fresh berries and peaches last week, fully intending to use them in some delectable baked dessert - but I couldn’t bring myself to alter them. So I hunted for a light fruit dressing.
It took a LONG time, but I found the perfect finishing touch for fresh fruit. It is lightly sweet, the faintest hint of orange, and it allows your arrangement of fruit to really shine. I really enjoy the fact that it doesn’t “set-up” like standard gelatin or pie glazes often do. My mouth waters just looking at the pictures again!
I found this on allrecipes.com... and it’s one I plan to keep in the refrigerator all summer long.
Ingredients:
4-1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
1 (6-oz) can pineapple juice
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
2 Tbs honey
2 Tbs lemon juice
Assorted fresh fruit
Directions:
In a saucepan, combine the first seven ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cool. Serve over fruit. Leftover dressing may be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Don’t you crave fresh fruit this time of year? In all it’s abundance, it’s easy to take it for granted. It has a natural beauty and it’s a shame to ruin it with heavy cream, gelatins, non-dairy whipped topping (you get the picture...) If you are looking for an impressive presentation for your plentiful seasonal fruit - this is it! The perfect finishing touch for any meal.
