Sometimes I can get great buys at my Health Food Store. Recently tthe cherries were beginning to be too ripe and ditto with some Apricots. They became dollar specials. So I got some of both. Situations like these require fast thinking and prep: as although most of the fruit was excellent, they were not going to last long.
There’s just me in my house. Obviously a family could consume the fruit as is fast. Here’s what I did.
2 cups of cherries cleaned, pitted, and halved
6 large apricots cleaned, pitted, and quartered
1/8 cup shredded coconut
1/8 cup of water
Enough for three servings
Thus I put the extra in a small glass jar.
Blend the apricots, water, and coconut.
Pour into one or more serving bowls
Blend the cherries (separately)
Stir slowly into previous mix to create a pattern of your choice.
(Truthfully I just blended everything together. The swirl adds to the presentation.)
This recipe also is good by adding some collagen.
One can always add to the fun by adding yougurt, cream, or add ice cream to the top.
When refrigerated overnight the mixture thickens. It tastes even bettr cold and would be good as a small bowl with sliced fruit around the edge, or on crackers or toast to compliment breakfast.
