Israeli Winter Fruit Cup

"Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. Oranges and bananas are a great combo, and I like the idea of adding some sweet red wine to a fruit salad! From The Jewish Vegetarian Year Cookbook. Have not tried this recipe yet."

  1. Very good! I used unsulfured apricots instead of figs, grape juice instead of wine, and didn't use any sugar. It is great and the grape juice made it a pretty color. I think it is sweet enough with the bananas and the dried fruit. Reviewed for the Veg*n Recipe Swap. Thanks!
     
  2. I ended up making substitutions, but was happy with the results so I am awarding five stars. I used dried apricots in place of the figs and white grape juice instead of wine. I eliminated the sugar. It was a nice fruit salad. Loved the walnuts! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
     
  3. Very simple and easy way to get your fruits!! I also scaled the size way down. Instead of walnuts i garnished with Crystallized Orange Nuts Recipe #134873 by PanNan. These are sweet so didn't need the sugar! thanks for a nice and different fruit salad!
     
  4. I made a quarter portion and ate some of this for breakfast with a dollop of creamy Greek yoghurt. The only changes I made were to use sultanas rather than raisins (I’ve never liked raisins) and to use apple juice instead of wine. And I didn’t add any sugar. Yummy!
     
  5. Reduced recipe for smaller quantity. Really fresh and yummy! Great side for lunch or nice breakfast with yogurt.

<p>Clockwise from upper left, my dear friends Cranberry, Quincy, Kumquat and Kiwi. All of our cats were born in the wild and adopted by us. Zaar Chefs I have met so far: Elmotoo, justcallmeToni, ~Rita~, Midwest Maven, Bird&amp;Buddha (both of them) and most recently, Ms*Bindy from upstate New York:) Wonderful, sweet, friendly people and great chefs! Most relevant thing to mention here is that I am a vegetarian, and recently became a&nbsp;vegan&nbsp;(almost 100%). To put vegetables and other things not meat or fish on the table I work as an actuary (in my case anyway, a combination of statistician, number-cruncher and/or programmer). For fun I like to travel. Just came back from&nbsp;Namibia, a peaceful democracy in Africa with lots of animals! Got some terrific pictures of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinocerous, hyenas, all kinds of antelopes, giraffes and zebras. Namibia is the second most sparsely populated country per square mile, just behind Mongolia. Update:&nbsp; We went to Italy this Spring.&nbsp; We had lots of pizza and pasta.&nbsp; The pizza is so much better in Italy, particularly the crust.&nbsp; The Amalfi coast was absolutely beautiful.&nbsp; Spectacular natural scenery (Canada and Alaska are really beautiful, Patagonia in Chile is sublime, Iceland is unique) has been my latest passion as far as travel destinations but I have seen quite a few big cities too (Paris, Berlin, London and Madrid to name a few). On my bulletin board at work I keep a list of every country I've visited (other than the U.S. of course). So far I've made it to five continents: Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and North America of course. I've got only two other continents to conquer:) I don't usually have difficulty finding vegetarian dishes here in the U.S. or overseas, but finding vegan dishes is much harder. I have no kids, just cats, Kumquat, Cranberry, and more recently Quincy and Kiwi. They are purebreds, of the breed alley caticus (okay, American shorthair I guess). Our cats are not vegetarians, though my boyfriend (significant other, long-term partner, whatever) is. I am a friend of all animals both tamed and wild. In addition I am a freethinker and my boyfriend studies philosophy. Either way, we get along pretty well.&nbsp; Also, please allow me to say that my BF and I recently bought a condominium in NYC.:)&nbsp; Pet peeve? Okay, I don't like public scenes, especially parents yelling at their children, lovers' spats, etc. If it must be done please do it in private:D Participation &amp; Awards:</p>
