mango and rose dessert

Mango and Rose Dessert

4 large firm but ripe mangoes
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon rose water
1 tablespoon edible rose petals, either fresh or dried (optional)

To prepare mangoes, slice a thin piece off the top and bottom of each fruit. Using a sharp paring knife, cut away long thin strips of the skin, continuing until all the skin has been removed. Cut away on both sides from the long, thin pit inside the mango. (You can see the placement of the pit at the cut-away top.)

Lay mango halves on their flat sides, rounded tops up. Following the length of the mango, cut even, thin, tongue-shaped slices. Arrange the slices attractively on a platter.

Combine lime juice, honey and rose water. Spoon over mango slices and sprinkle with rose petals if serving immediately. To serve a few hours later, cover platter tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 3 hours, sprinkling with petals just before serving.

Yields 6 servings.

french caramelized apples

French Caramelized Apples

Shared by Cara

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 to 5 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine 4 tablespoons of the butter with the cup of sugar and a tablespoon of water in a 10- or 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn the heat to medium. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally (don?t stir), until the sugar melts into the butter and the mixture bubbles. Turn off the heat and add the apples in layers; about halfway through, dot with some of the remaining butter and sugar. Use the remaining butter and sugar on top of the last layer, along with the cinnamon if you like. Put in the oven.

Bake, undisturbed, until the apples give up their liquid and it evaporates and the sides of the mass are dark brown and sticky looking. This will take around 45 minutes, but it could be considerably longer or shorter depending on the water content of your apples. Remove and let cool.

Serve straight from the pan, or for a more attractive presentation, invert onto a plate.

Serves approximately 6 to 8.
