recipe book

Hi guys. I'm working on publishing a book of all my recipes (not for sale, just for me and anyone who wants one. cost is about 10$) and would like to add some of your favorites as well. This is kind of a culmination project to wrap up my 1 1/2 year obsession with health foods and allow me to move on to other things like my schooling and homeschool. Please keep posting and add digital pictures, if you can, so that I can add them into the book. Thanks.

This Is my favorite fruit salad!!

For ginger syrup
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger left unpeeled

For fruit salad
4 cups (1-inch pieces) summer fruit (such as mixed berries, melons, peaches, and/or nectarines)
2 tablespoons small mint leaves
Preparation
Make syrup:
In a heavy sauce pan, heat honey and ginger over med. heat until it is almost at a boil*, stir constantly. Just before it boils lower the heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. remove from heat and let steep 15-30 minutes (the longer you steep it the more potent the ginger flavor is). Pour ginger syrup through a sieve into a bowl, discarding ginger. Chill, covered, at least 2 hours.

Make fruit salad:
Toss fruit and mint with 1/4 cup syrup, or to taste.

Cooks' note:
Syrup keeps, covered and chilled, 2 weeks.

*To make this raw, blend raw honey with a little water (enough to make it syrupy) add ginger and let sit overnight. pour through a sieve into a bowl and discard ginger.

I actually keep the ginger and chew on it when I want a treat.
