Fruit Kebob

-


I was asked to make a fruit kebob yesterday for an event; I made 100 and they were completely devoured by guests in about 20 minutes :  ) That yummy huh!!!  Fruits have never looked so appetizing.  The vibrant mix of colors makes anyone want to eat it, even those who don't even like fruit.

Have you ever seen meat kebobs? Yes, this is the same except with loads of yummy fruits. You can do it with any type of fruit. Use your creativity. Fruits tend to come in almost any shape, size, color, taste so you can really go wild with this one. Make your own fruit kebob as a show stopper on your next event, house party, family treat or as a gift to friends. It is really inexpensive to make and does not take an unbearable amount of time to make. Believe me the efforts as worthed.

Have you ever seen these fruit kebobs with a company called 'Edible Arrangements'? They make really beautiful looking fruit kebobs which are great gifts to anyone but their prices range from a whopping $29 to $85 when you can make it just as beautiful at home for much less.

Look how beautiful, really simple to make...


This fruit kebob that I made was on the simple side but you can really go all out with your creativity. Instead of just cutting all your fruit into squares instead use cooking cutters to shape your fruit into flowers, birds, trees or whatever you want. Use an ice cream scoop to make the inside of your flower with another fruit, use a nice flower vase to put your fruit kebobs in as a display for whatever occasion it may be.

This event had a strictly green theme to it so I chose to use a lot of green fruits to match the event but if you have no color limits go wild with the colors. The more colors you use the more beautiful it will be imagine using strawberries, blueberries, grapes, kiwi, honey dew, cantaloupe, banana, pineapple and more. It will be really nice. Try this for your next event.

Get long kebob sticks and place your cut up fruit in any order you choose then gently poke your kebob sticks into either a watermelon, pineapple, cabbage or whatever else you will be using just make sure to use something hard in order to hold the sticks in place.

That simple...

Note: When making these kebobs it is advised to not use fruits such as apples and pears because they tend to get black easily.

Tip: If you choose to use pears and apples no problem just make sure as you cut them to immediately soak them first into a big bowl with lemon juice and a little water for a few minutes (pears, appleas and potatoes tend to blacken when air hits it. So to avoid this with your fruit make sure to completely soak not allowing air to touch it.) once soaked for a few minutes you are good to go it won't blacken on you.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth.
