The ingredients can come from your garden or the market, the fresher and grown closer to home the better.<\/p>\n
1 small seedless watermelon cut into bite sized pieces<\/p>\n
1\/2 of a \u00a0fresh melon, cantaloupe or honeydew is fine cut into bite sized pieces<\/p>\n
1 cup or heaping handful of fresh blueberries<\/p>\n
1 heaping handful of red raspberries<\/p>\n
A handful or more of large purple grapes sliced in half<\/p>\n
A sprig of Mint, Lemon Balm or Lemon Verbena<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon poppy seeds<\/p>\n
1 tablespoon honey<\/p>\n
Cut the watermelon and cantaloupe into small \u00a0bite size pieces.<\/p>\n
Place about 1\/2 cup of the watermelon and 1\/2 cup of the\u00a0<\/span>cantaloupe\u00a0pieces into an electric blender. Put the rest of these\u00a0<\/span>pieces\u00a0into your large colorful bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n Toss into bowl your grapes which you have cut in halves, your handfuls of raspberries and blueberries. Set aside.<\/p>\n To the cantaloupe and watermelon chunks in electric blender add your 1 Tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds. Blend on high until well blended.<\/p>\n Take a sip of this mixture, add more honey if you desire a sweeter flavor. Pour this mixture over your fruit salad, toss to thoroughly blend flavors and serve immediately or chill for a nice cool refreshing summer treat!<\/p>\n Oh yes, add a sprig of mint (or lemon balm or…lemon verbena) for color, fragrance and whimsy!<\/p>\n When peaches are in season I will add 2 or 3 large ones which I have chopped into bite sized pieces….yum<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is a delightful simple little recipe from the fairy folk for a summer Fairy Berry Fruit Salad.
