Fruit in Disguise for Christmas: Why It Won't Cost Me an Arm this Year.
Fruits in disguise, we love it!
The problem is, it's super expensive in stores.
So my grandmother made them herself.
By making them at home, they are small economical treats, very popular with gourmets!
And since it's super easy to do, why go without? Here is my grandmother's quick and easy recipe for making fruit in disguise.
Ingredients
- Colorful almond paste
- A packet of dried fruits (dates, apricots, prunes)
How to do
1. Cut your fruit in two lengthwise without completely separating the two halves.
2. Remove the pits if necessary.
3. Shape the almond paste into small sausages and garnish your dried fruits.
4. Close the fruit a little, so that the almond paste can be seen.
5. For the walnuts, separate the two kernels, place a piece of almond paste in the center and close to reform the walnut ...
Results
There you go, your disguised fruits are already ready :-)
When finished, place all your disguised fruits in an airtight box and you can keep them for two to three weeks in the fridge.
Apricots, walnut kernels, prunes ... The advantage of disguised fruits is that the variations are endless. And dried fruits are great for your health.
You can only use white marzipan, but it's a shame not to vary the colors. In a tray, it will immediately have more effect!
Savings made
Sold at a high price in stores around the holiday season, disguised fruits are really easy to make.
Granted, it sticks (the pitting step is the worst!), But given the savings, I think it's worth it!
It will cost you half the cost to make them yourself rather than buying them in a store.
