Bringing Springtime to Your
Table
By: Arleen Kaptur - [food]
About mid-January, everyone
starts thinking about Spring - warm breezes, flowers
beginning to
blossom and scents of nature coming to life. Surprise your table with
this "springtime" basket when your salad course comes to your mealtime: Fit
two
lettuce cups together. Fill with tossed salad and use split green
pepper rings for
the handles. Top with dressing and some crumbled
cheese. Trim with some
"marigolds" (just notch thin slices of carrots)
and you have a really wonderful
"salad basket."
****************************** Sunshine Fruit: Slice top
froma large
orange. With paring knife, remove orange sections and any white
membranes. Combine orange sections with banana slices, strawberry halves,
blueberries, raspberries, or whatever you like. Refill orange shell and
sprinkle
some chilled ginger ale over fruit. Trim with mint sprigs and
thoughts of springtime
will grace your table.
******************************* Springtime Dessert: 1
pkg. (8 ozs.)
cream cheese, softened, 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar, 1/2 tsp.
vanilla
extract, 1 cup whipped cream, 2 quarts fresh strawberries, blueberries, or
raspberries, 1 carton (8 ozs.) frozen whipped topping, thawed In a bowl,
beat the
cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add
the cream; beating
until thick. Spoon mixture into 10 mounds on a waxed
paper-lined baking pan.
Using the back of a spoon, shape ito 3" cups.
Freeze overnight. To serve: fill each
cup with fruit and garnish with
whipped topping and chocolate curls. Aw, the beauty
of the season! Each
season brings with it a very special appeal -
ENJOY!
