Ingrid's end of the season soccer party was Friday night. I was charged with fruit salad, and I was skeptical. What kind of fruit salad will a bunch of 5-6-7 year old kids choose to eat with their pizza -- actually stop running around and eat? The kind they can keep running around with!
Ingredients:
strawberries
blueberries
agave nectar
granulated sugar
lemon juice
whipped cream
waffle cones
Directions:
Super easy. Chop the strawberries, mix with blueberries. Amount depends upon your crowd, and throw in whatever fruit is in season and/or preferred. Drizzle with a little agave nectar; start with maybe 1 Tablespoon. Taste it; drizzle some more. Not too much! Sprinkle just a little granulated sugar on top (or skip this step, if you prefer). Toss in a little lemon juice for freshness.
Here's the cool part, the part that was cool enough that -by golly- each of those little soccer players got at least one good serving of fruit in that day: spoon this awesomeness right into those sugar cones, and top with chilled whipped cream (from a can if you're busy like me... or you can make your own if you're an over-achiever!). It was a hit with grown-ups and children alike: I meant to take a picture of a completed cone, but none of them lasted long enough. Chilling the fruit for a few hours or even freezing it would be yummy, too.
