Aletha




Ingredients:
1-1.5 cups soaked almonds
0.5 cups dates
1 tsp. cinnamon
0.5 tsp. nutmeg
0.25 cup orange juice
3 pints strawberries
4 bananas
0.125 cup fresh shredded coconut
Instructions
1. Freeze 2 pints of the strawberries and 2 bananas
2. Blend almonds, dates, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange juice in a food processor.
3. Form the blended mixture into a pie crust in a 9 inch pie dish.
4. Process the frozen fruit to a sorbet consistency in a Champion juicer using the blank plate.
5. Slice up the remaining strawberries and bananas.
6. Layer the sorbet and fruit slices over the pie crust.
7. Decorate with coconut.
Remarks on the recipe:
1) It's an excellent pie - I had a chance to eat some at an earlier meeting.
2) In step 4, you can use a blender instead of a Champion juicer. Just let the fruit thaw some before putting it in blender.
