I really enjoyed making these fruits in a jar. They will be perfect to carry along to work as your light, healthy lunch or snack. You can even pack this when you’re going on a long journey or a picnic or for the older kids (high school going) to take as part of their lunch. Having it in a jar has many advantages than having it in, say, a lunchbox. First, the food looks visually appealing, being airtight, you’re guaranteed to have your fruits as fresh as can be. Also, it’s neat and compact, so you can easily put this in your handbag and not worry about having spillages.
Resources/Equipment You Will Need
- a mason jar (check my online store if you need some)
- chopping board
- a knife
Quick Instructions
- Get together all the fruits you want to use.
- Get your mason jars ready.
- Wash your fruits then slice them in whichever way you wish.
- Begin to layer your fruits in the mason jars. Here I started with apples, followed by strawberries and the paw-paws.
- Continue with the layering of the fruits until you reach to the top and you leave about 1 cm from the top of the bottle. Squeeze some orange juice into the bottle for flavour as well as to prevent the apples from discoloring (if you’re using apples). That’s it, Bon Appetite!
