Climate change is bringing some record temperatures to California this year. Some areas in Northern California hit over 110°F. This calls for some refreshing fruit bowls to cool us off from the heat wave!
Watermelon has always been a summer favorite, but why not mix it up with some berries and dragon fruit? For this Watermelon Fruit Bowl, I added some yellow dragon fruit, which is great for digestion. But beware of eating too much of this natural laxative!
As a mom of young kids, I understand the challenge of keeping the little ones interested in healthy foods. To sweeten this fruit bowl up a notch, I added a semi-homemade syrup. All it takes is mixing a tablespoon of water with a cup of Smuckers apricot preserves. Gently heat up the mixture on low heat, stir it until the mixture starts to boil, and turn off the heat immediately. Let the syrup cool off a little, then pour it over your fruit bowl and enjoy!
