Cool and Refreshing
Baby Shower Menu

When I was thinking about the perfect summer baby shower menu idea I knew it had to be light and refreshing.

Fruit Soup
Erin W.

Ingredients:
¾ C. Sugar
1 C. Water
1 C. Peach Juice (or another cup of water)
3 Tbsp. Tapioca (be sure to use minute tapioca)

6 oz. Orange Juice Concentrate
1 ½ C. Water

2 Cans Mandarin Oranges
1 Quart Sliced Peaches With Their Juice - (Or 1 Large Can of Peach Slices, but do NOT add the heavy syrup – it makes the soup too sweet. Cut the slices in half so they are bite-size.)
2 C. Fresh Strawberries, sliced, just before serving
2 Bananas, sliced, just before serving
1 Bag Frozen Raspberries, thawed (or an equivalent amount of fresh) Or Other Berry Mix (raspberries give the juice a red tint, without raspberries it is an orange color)

Directions:
Bring sugar, water, peach juice and tapioca to a boil. Continue boiling on medium high for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Some tapioca will be clear and other granules will have a white center. Take off heat. Let sit for 30 minutes. (This is when the tapioca will become more clear.)

Add 6 oz orange juice concentrate and 1 ½ c. water. Chill overnight.

Add mandarin oranges and peaches. Just before serving add strawberries, sliced bananas, and raspberries.

Serve with cinnamon rolls or biscotti.
