Macerated Fruits
added 03/07/08
Plan as attractive
a mixture of cut-up fruits as you can muster, considering the season of
the year. Summer is ideal with all the bounties the warm months can offer.
Winter is more of a problem; however, we still have fresh oranges and
grapefruit cut into skinless segments, along with an occasional strawberry
or melon, pineapple, banana, or kiwi fruit. Among canned fruits that are
good are figs in syrup, dark purple plums, and mandarin segments. Add
a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkling of kirsch, white rum, or Cognac,
if you like such additions. Let the fruits macerate together in their
covered serving bowl in the fridge for several hours, and taste in case
more lemon or liqueurs are needed.

Walk into the cereal section of a big-chain grocery store and there is one thing you’ll notice that they all have in common: high-sugared cereals, located down low on shelves near the floor. Why?
And The Winner Is ...
Congratulations to Shelly in the Hanover Co-op Produce Department for her award-winning Guacamole Cilantro Lime Cheeseburger! When you work for a place like the Co-op, it’s not always easy to impress your coworkers with your cooking skills. Let’s face it, their cooking skills are usually going to be none-too-shabby either. But Shelly impressed everyone! The heated Hanover Co-op Burger Cookoff Competition was part of a recent employee appreciation event, where our employee expertise was put to the test for the honor of best-burger bragging rights. The Co-op is famous for employing people who know a lot about food, and know how to dress up even a basic burger. “Melted Monterey Jack Cheese lends an added zing to these spiced up hamburgers,” Shelly says. “A dollop of fresh guacamole sends it over the top!” Thanks to Shelly for sharing her recipe, and thanks to all our employees who participated in the best-burger competition.
