I buy a lot of different kinds of fruits and then start fumbling on what to do with them. As I told earlier, I have fussy eaters in my family. Fruits are one of the kinds which are happily avoided after a lot of logically debated arguments. Mr. Pie is the one who always love to avoid fruits. I try to convince the little sweethearts and keep them educating the benefits of fruit intake. Not always convinced but Miss Picky Pie after a gruelling nagging session consumes what is served to her plate. Miss Muddly Pie is too little to show a disapproval. What I always try, is to incorporate the fruits in such a way that can be happily devoured by my clan. I am not a kind of a person who introduces a lot of fruits in the desserts (Also read – if I do so that is definitely going to be trashed by the rest of the Pie family). Rather I love adding them in my savoury dishes mainly in the fish or chicken dishes. Say it Plum or apricot or peach, it marriages perfectly with a Chinese style chicken or fish dish.
This time, I experimented the summer fruits with a quencher. And I am happy to announce that Mr. Pie and Miss. Picky Pie drank the last drop of the drink. Though I was not very happy to add the carbonated drink. I trickily lesser the amount of the Sprite in Miss Picky Pie’s glass replacing it with water. Enjoy it and let me know how much you loved it.
- 3 Nos Plums (Sliced)
- 3 Cups Orange Juice (More or less) (I used Store bought - Tropicana. You can use fresh juice)
- 2 Cups Sprite / 7 Up/ Soda (More or less)
- Mint Leaves Handful
- A pinch Salt
- Slice the plums then press a little in the Morter with a pestle so that the juice of the Plums comes out a bit.
- Take Glasses/ Mason Jars after your choice. Add the Plum along with its juice. Pour the the Orange juice filling half of the glass. Then fill the rest with the Sprite/ 7 Up/ Soda/ Crush the mint leaves with your hand and add to it. Add a pinch of salt. Chill it and enjoy.

Dear Magan,
Thank you so much for dropping by. I feel funny too when I mention them by these names. But it helps me to develop the sorties around them. 🙂
Keep in Touch.
