Marinated Fruit Medley Recipes

QUICK FRUIT MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; cover and refrigerate overnight. Just before serving, fold in the blueberries, cherries and bananas; gently toss.

MARINATED VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, whisk together the vinegar, oil, onion, sugar, salt, basil, oregano and garlic powder. Bring mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer 12 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the artichoke hearts, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot and mushrooms. Pour the vinegar mixture over all and toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 3 hours. Serve using a slotted spoon.

MARINATED FRESH BERRIES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, citrus zests, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the citrus juices and vanilla. Combine the berries in a bowl. Pour the warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Serve marinated berries over a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt.

CITRUS MARINATED FRUIT

Steps:

• Place the fruit in a large bowl, toss gently to combine. Set fruit mixture aside.
• Combine the orange juice, wine, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir well.
• Pour orange juice mixture over the fruit mixture; toss gently. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Garnish, if desired.

FRESH FRUIT MARINADE

Steps:

• Cut fresh fruit into bite sized pieces (I use melon, peaches, apples, plums, grapes, etc).
• Mix the orange juice and Splenda together until the Splenda is well dissolved.
• Pour the orange juice mixture over the fruit, cover and chill for several hours.
• This is great for fruit that isn't quite as sweet as you like it, and is very refreshing for an addition to any meal.
