Apples with Limes and Oranges Recipe - Mele agli Agrumi
I confess I'm not a great fan of sweets in the summer months. It's simply too hot. Fresh fruit, on the other hand, is quite nice, and this apples with limes and oranges recipe is a nice change of pace with respect to the standard summer peach. To serve 4:
Peel and core the apples, then slice them crosswise into thin rounds and put them on a serving dish.
Sprinkle them with the remaining brown sugar, and the citrus juices. Set the dish in the refrigerator, and let it chill for 2 hours.
In the meantime, wash the mint and pat the leaves dry. Remove the zest from the lime and the orange using a paring knife or a potato peeler, and julienne it.
Come time to serve the fruit, dust it with the powdered sugar and garnish it with the zest and the mint leaves.
