Fresh Fruit Plunder; When fresh fruit and berries are available from the south I like to make a quick dessert. Any selection of fruit will do. Mango orange and apple.

In a bowl I add some french vanilla yogurt, apple butter, a shot of vanilla extract, some fruit juices infused cream cheese and make a nice soft creamy filling. Slice up about 2 cups of fresh fruit.

Using a variety of vegetables like sweet potato and bok choy you can achieve great tasting soups. It all starts with a good bone broth.

The liquid gold is well worth the effort. Here is some vegetable facts. A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye....

I added a splash Sapphire Gin, pinch of fresh ginger and some fine chopped basil and cilantro, sea salt pepper and unsalted butter. Added some 35% cream and the a few whole spot...
