Fruit is excellent, but I don't eat enough, I'm not sure why, but maybe because its just annoying, its sticky, it makes a mess, goes off. Its just so much easier to grab biscuits or crisps from the supermarket shelf...

So I've started a new approach...

Top Tip:

Making fruit salad is an excellent way to enjoy more fruit. I buy 4 apples, 4 oranges, 4 bananas, a large bunch of seedless white grapes and 2 lemons. When I get home from shopping (and had a cup of tea) I then set about making my fruit salad, get all the peeling, washing, seed removing nonsense out of the way in one go. I then have a large bowl of fruit salad in the fridge for the next few days that I just tuck into with a fork whenever I'm peckish. No mess, no sticky fingers. Brilliant.

Top Tip:

Cut your individual orange slices in half at the middle - that way its quick and easy to slip the seeds out.

Top Tip:

Squeeze the juice of the two lemons over your fruit salad, it keeps the apples from going brown but also gives the whole thing a great zangy flavour.

Can you please explain the word 'zangy' James?

I understand tangy, and zing, but zangy? Have you discovered a whole new taste sensation? The world needs to know!!

Grow leeks. They rock.

In addittion to the tip above from James, here is another one to make it even healthier.

Top Tip:

When peeling your fruit, save the skins of fruits like apples, pears, grapes etc. Then when all your fruit is in a bowl zap the skins through a blender with some water until you get a fruit juice. Then you can pour this over the fruit in the bowl. You keep all of the good vitamins contained in the skins and it helps preserve the fruit so it will last longer without browning.

It may take a little experimentation with regard to which skins workk best. Apple, pear, grape and some melons are good I dont think banana skins work -they are too bitter.
