FRUIT CUPS
These are just awesome! I love to make them up and freeze them for breakfast or a quick snack. For kid-sized servings, use 5-oz cups and fill them with 1/2 c. of the fruit mixture (yield 24 1/2-cup servings). For a larger serving, freeze in 9-oz cups (yield 12 1-cup servings). If using the larger cup, you need to remove them about 15 minutes before serving. FYI, in my freezer I timed the 9-oz cup and it took 1 hour for it to be slushy and 2 hours to be completely frozen. Dont worry if you taste it before freezing and the mixture is a little bit tart, the flavors mellow after freezing. Great for once-a-month cooking. Enjoy!

SPICED FRUIT SALAD
Easy, tasty AND low fat healthy, this can be served at many occasions: brunch, showers, picnics and potlucks. Also a nice change to the standard "fruit cup" usually served before wedding reception and holiday dinners. Serve as a dessert or as a snack, which is kid-pleasing too. DO NOT serve to any child under the age of 1, due to the honey ingredient (or omit the honey, if so). A make-ahead no cook dish, cook time is for chill time. Serves 8-10, please double recipe for a larger crowd. This recipe is courtesy of Southern Living.
