Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Fruit is much more appealing when it looks freshly cut. To keep fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, and nectarines from turning brown after they're cut, dip the fruit into, or brush it with, lemon juice or a mixture of lemon juice and water. A mixture of water and ascorbic-acid color keeper, mixed according to package directions, works well, too.
