Sprouting

Yeah! I just went downstairs and checked my sprouts. I finally started them yesterday. I didn't soak them first and was a little afraid they wouldn't work. Every tray has tinsey, tiny sprouts working their way out of the seeds. It is so exciting. I bought the Easy Green Sprouter. It is the same type Candice bought. I am glad it is working.

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.
