Dipped Fruit

1: Dipped fruit

A dipping fruit is a common condiment for putting something briefly in flavored or some soft liquids mixture and take it out again. Dipping can be used for adding taste to a food like fresh fruit dipped in chocolate etc. Using chocolate as a dipping sauce has always been popular among chocoholics and dessert-lovers alike because it offers an easy, yet decedent sugar-fix.

Fruits are one of the oldest forms of food known to man. Fresh and dipped fruits are the

Natural staple food of man. They contain substantial quantities of essential nutrients in a rational proportion. They are excellent sources of minerals, vitamins and enzymes. They are easily digested and exercise a cleaning effect on the blood and the digestive tract. Fresh and dipped fruits are thus not only a good food, but also a good medicine.

 

2: dipped fruit development

 

Dipped Fruits have been recognized as a good source of vitamins and minerals now days. They have been especially valuable for their ability to prevent vitamin C and vitamin A deficiencies. The making of dipping fruit is very process if you want to make a dipped fruit you need some fresh fruit and some flavored sauce like chocolates. But some instructions are used for this work.

Step: 1

 Wash and slice fruit into bite-sized pieces. Refrigerate fruit long enough so that it is firm to the touch. (Do not use warm-fruit, as this will cause your toothpick to incessantly fall out of the fruit.)

Step: 2

Near to serving time, arrange fruit on serving platter. Insert toothpicks into fruit.

Step: 3

Put chocolate and shortening in top half of a double-broiler, which sits above a pot of boiling water. Ensure that the boiling water is not hitting the top of the top half's bottom (this will ensure that your chocolate is more properly tempered).

Step: 4

As you see the chocolate and shortening slowly melt together, stir the mixture on occasion. If mixture begins melting too quickly, lower heat and/or temporarily remove pot from heat.

Step: 5

If using as a fondue, pour mixture into a fondue pot, and immediately serve with fruit platter.

Step: 6

If creating chocolate-dipped fruit, dip a portion of each fruit piece into chocolate mixture. After dipping fruit piece, set onto wax paper, where it will cool and the chocolate will have time to set. Allow chocolate-dipped fruit to cool for at least an hour prior to serving, or offering as romantic present!
