Farmer's market looks so colorful with the fresh fruits and vegetables that are in abundance during this time of the year. Strawberries,blueberries,apricots,cherries,oranges,raspberries,nectarines, peaches are so fresh and cry out to be picked and tasted. It is difficult sometimes to make a decision.I go overboard and come home with a large selection. With all the fruits we prepared a simple fruit salad and served it with creme fraiche. We enjoyed this with our friends who come over for a visit.

Fruit Salad Topped In Fresh Cream:

Now what would one do if the fruits are not sweet and perfect for our taste. A good way to dress them up and make then enjoyable is drenching the fruits in fresh cream. Apart from the taste, texture and appearance of fruit matters. Most people like the one soaked in fresh cream because it makes the fruit taste sweeter and richer. Here is a fruit salad my friend prepares often.

Ingredients:

Fruits ( Banana, Mango, Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach, Nectarine, Apricot) - 3 cups

Madarin Oranges - 1 can

Fresh Cream - 1/4 cup

Whole Milk or 2 % Milk - 3/4 cup

Sugar - as per taste

Preparation:

Mix together the fresh cream, milk and sugar. Toss in the fruits and chill it in the fridge. Serve anytime.
