I served this with an asian style meal of fish, beans and asparagus and it was very refreshing indeed. DO sit the cinnamon stick, cloves ( I used 3) and the cardamom in the syrup for as long as you can manage, their flavours add a wonderful mellow dimention to this recipe and as a result this isn't too sweet as fruit in a syrup alone could have been. Please see my Rating System: a very refreshing 4 stars for a delightful summer fruit salad that our guest and I polished off between us... Made for Zaar World Tour 2008. Thank!

I love http://peoplestring.com/?u=sshupe
I get paid to read snail mail and email. It is an awesome free portal where you get paid for what you are already doing on the web.
I live in Utah with my husband and son. They are my taste testers and are very happy that I love to cook. During the summer we camp and cook via dutch oven. My falls and springs are filled with canning. When I am actually working I do medical coding from home so I can take care of my son.
One thing I appreciate about Zaar is it keeps me from saying.
