all ingredients

• 3 Oranges
• 3 Peaches
• 3 Plums
• 1 Carton Blueberries
• 1 Carton Raspberries
• 1 Carton Fresh Strawberries
• 1 Bottle of Champagne

recipe instruction

1. Prepare your fruits. Cut the tops off of the strawberries and slice into quarters. Slice your peaches and your plums in half, remove the pits and then slice into 8 equal wedges.

2. Supreme your oranges. To supreme an orange you first must cut the top and bottom off. Next, cut the zest off the entire orange. Then holding the orange in your hand, slice the segments without cutting any of the white membranes.

3. Place all of your fruit in a large bowl. Add enough champagne to cover all of your fresh fruit.

4. Let soak a couple of hours.

5. Serve chilled with some of the champagne as a sauce.

cooking tips

• You can use any fruit you like but try to stay away from fruit that oxidizes (browns) super easily. (i.e. apples, pears, bananas)
• This is amazingly delicious by itself, especially in the summer time, but to make this a heartier dessert you can always serve it over sorbet or ice cream.
