Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 large peaches -- pitted and sliced

2 cups low-fat vanilla or plain yogurt

1 cup sliced strawberries

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons real maple syrup

1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

 

Serves 4.

 

This Scandinavian fruit soup -- a delicious ending to summer meals -- takes

on a gentle rosy color from the peaches and strawberries. After chilling,

adjust the sweetness to your taste; the sugar in the fruit will vary

according to ripeness.

 

In a blender, combine peaches, yogurt, strawberries, orange juice, maple

syrup and orange juice concentrate. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a

large serving bowl. Cover and chill 1 hour. Adjust sweetness to

taste. Sprinkle each serving with mint.
