Fresh Fruit with Mango Sauce
Fresh Fruit with Mango Sauce (Serves 6)
1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted and chopped
rind of 1 orange
juice of 3 oranges
honey, to taste
2 peaches
2 nectarines
1 small mango, peeled
2 plums
1 pear or 1/2 small melon
2 heaping T wild raspberries
2 heaping T wild strawberries
2 heaping T blueberries
juice of 1 lemon
small mint sprigs, to decorate
1. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, process the large mango until smooth. Add the orange rind, juice and honey to taste and process again until very smooth. Press through a strainer into a bowl and chill the sauce.
2. Peel the peaches, if desired, then slice and pit the peaches, nectarines, small mango and plums. Quarter the pear and remove the core and seeds, or if using, slice the melon thinly and remove the peel.
3. Place the sliced fruits on a large plate, sprinkle the fruits with the lemon juice and chill, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 hours before serving. (Some fruits may discolor if cut ahead of time.)
4. To serve, arrange the sliced fruits on serving plates, spoon the berries on top, drizzle with a little mango sauce and decorate with mint sprigs. Serve the remaining sauce separately.
