♣Somewhere Over The Rainbow!♣
Today I am going to make this FUN fruit rainbow for snack....
A St. Patty's Day Rainbow of Flavor!
Red - Strawberries, apples, cherries, watermelon
Orange - Mandarin oranges, navel oranges, canteloupe
Yellow - Pineapple, banana, apples, pears, lemons
Green - Apples, pears, grapes, limes
Blue - Blueberries
Violet (Purple) - Plums, grapes, pears
Mini-marshmallows were used for the clouds on one side of the rainbow and bananas for the pot of gold. If you don't know this tip yet, it will change your life with fruit. I cut the apples and bananas over two hours before I served it and they weren't brown. How? Using a basting brush, spread lemon juice over the cut sides. EASY!!!
Here is her dip but I think I just might use my own:)
I also made an AMAZING FRUIT DIP to accompany the fruit dish. It could eat it in spoonfuls (without the fruit). That's a problem!!!
Here is the recipe:
8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened works best)
8 oz. Sour Cream
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 oz. package of instant vanilla pudding
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix it all together. Chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve. And DEVOUR!!!
Than I came across these the other day...
Next year I REALLY want to try them but for now we will just make our rainbow ones:)
It doesn't take the luck of the Irish to make these St. Patty's Day treats look so sweet -- just a clever baking technique.
Ingredients
Cupcake batter
Cupcake tins and liners
Aluminum foil
White frosting
Green food coloring
Toothpick
Green licorice (we used Twizzlers Rainbow Twists sold in a pack with other colors)
Instructions
Place paper liners in 32 standard muffin cups, then fill each halfway with the batter.
For each cupcake, roll three balls of foil (ours were 2/3 inch in diameter) and insert them evenly around the perimeter between the liner and the tin, as shown.
Bake the cupcakes for a few minutes less than the package suggests (because there's less batter per cup than usual), or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool, then remove them from the tin.
Cover each with green frosting (our ratio was 1 teaspoon of green food coloring to one 16-ounce can of white frosting).
Use a toothpick to draw leaf veins, and insert a 2-inch-long piece of green licorice for a stem.
