Dear readers, this one is for all you fruit lovers. Spring is here at long last and the markets are filled with all kinds of delectable friuits. Yum! I'm pretty serious when I buy fruit, trying my very best to choose the best ripe fruit, checking for the right color, the right hardness or softness, the good smell, no bruises, etc. And still, sigh, sometimes, I end up with fruit that's totally 'meh'.
Tasteless, lifeless fruit. Why even sell such fruit, amirite!? So disappointing! 😞
At other times, I forget the fruit that I bought and stashed in the fridge for too long (I'm quite absent minded) and when I rediscover them they look sad, shriveled and resentful (my bad). I have however discovered that there is a super simple fix for both these cases of fruit gone sad.
A bit of sugar, a bit of time and the magic of maceration will turn your Plain Jane or neglected fruit into plump, juicy, flavor intensified fruity superstars! It's time to Macerate your Fruit!
