Fruit recipe collection

First time I've paired pork chops with dried fruit. During braising the apricots and prunes plumped up and added a nice mellow fruitiness which paired with the tender pork perfectly.

Broiled until popped, then macerated in sugar and brandy. Works as a cranberry sauce with a bit of kick for meats and also as a topping for pancakes or waffles.

Bread machine pumpkin raisin bread is a soft, golden yeast loaf packed with canned pumpkin, plump raisins, and warming ginger and cinnamon. Wheat germ adds nutty depth. Dump, press start, walk away.

Spiced apple-orange muffins with grated fresh fruit and warm spices. Light texture from folded egg whites. Optional raisins for extra sweetness.

Quite easy to make, and I liked these apple pancakes especially served with maple syrup. Yum!

Cranberry orange muffins: tart fresh cranberries and bright orange juice in a tender, lighter muffin made with yogurt instead of butter. A wholesome breakfast or brunch bake, with optional nuts for crunch.

Not too sweet, these scones are perfect to enjoy with a cup of warm tea!

Cranberry pumpkin muffins fold tart fresh cranberries into a spiced pumpkin batter for a tender breakfast muffin balanced between sweet and tangy. The autumn pairing in muffin form.

Instead of pancakes, try these delicious crepes with warm berry sauce and a cup of orange juice or coffee for breakfast.

Breakfast fruit focaccia uses thawed frozen bread dough as a shortcut base, topped with sliced plums, butter, and cinnamon sugar. Tastes like a Tuscan breakfast pastry without the dough work.

Classic British raisin scones with cream of tartar leavening, plump raisins, and a tender crumb. A 45-minute breakfast or tea-time bake that's ready before the kettle boils.

Strawberry oatmeal muffins built with instant oats, cake flour, fresh diced strawberries, and egg whites for a low-fat, breakfast-friendly muffin sweetened with brown sugar and warmed with cinnamon.

A simple, but scrumptious broccoli salad that is the perfect substitute for when you're tired of the same old leaf lettuce side dish.

Buttermilk apple muffins with chunks of fresh apple, brown sugar batter, and a cinnamon walnut streusel top. Tender, tangy, and breakfast-ready.

Buttermilk Christmas pudding: a warmly spiced, molasses-dark steamed pudding studded with raisins and made tender by buttermilk and suet. The traditional British holiday dessert, served with brandy sauce or custard.

After dividing the dough in half, I cut each piece into six wedges, making 12 scones in total.
