It's a great way to sneak in a fruit disguised as a Halloween treat.This fun fruit sushi is a colorful and tasty way to celebrate the season, and your little goblins will be none the wiser!
Ingredients: Fruit leather or Fruit rolls and a selection of your favorite fruits.In these photos, Chef Pope used an Asian Pear, Red Pear, Kiwi, Banana, Clementine, Cantaloupe, Seedless Grapes and a Honey Crisp Apple.
Directions: Chef Pope fashioned two types of fruit sushi.First, a mock sashimi sushi, using a rectangle slice of red pear and sliced grapes.Then, he made a mock nagiri by placing small slices of fruits on unrolled fruit leather. Once in place, roll it together and trim any excess.These delectable tid-bits got two thumbs up from our taste tester (who preferred the blue rolled sushi!)Enjoy!
