Friday Evening Yumminess


David requested something "different" for Sabbath lunch this week - sandwiches and fruit soup. So, this afternoon I ventured into the kitchen to create a fruit soup that we would both enjoy. David came home, smelled the amazing aroma coming from the kettle, and just couldn't wait, so the fruit soup part of our Sabbath lunch was relegated to this evening. We all declared it a scrumptious success!

Summer Fruit Soup

3 cups chopped strawberries
2 cups chopped pineapple
2 cups peaches
2 mangoes, chopped
Zest of lemon and lime
2 Tbsp orange peach mango juice concentrate
1/2 cup sugar
Fresh juice of one lemon
Fresh juice of one lime
1 cup blueberries
2 kiwi
1 cup raspberries

Directions:

Simmer all ingredients except blueberries, kiwi, raspberries, and one mango. Once it reaches boiling, take off the stove and blend in food processor or blender till smooth. Pour into shallow bowl and add the rest of the fruit. Cool in refrigerator. Serve with mint sprigs for garnish.

Note: Since obviously it's not summer, I used frozen fruit and modified the original recipe significantly. Here's the original: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/summer-fruit-soup-recipe/index.html
