Fruit Sando

Directions

For best results, this recipe requires a 1hr chilling period before serving.

To Prepare the Fruit

1. Use a small knife to hull the strawberries (remove the leafy greens) and cut grapes in half. Peel oranges and cut into segments.
2. Arrange the prepared fruit on a tray lined with paper towels to remove excess
   moisture.

To Make the Whipped Cream

1. Use two mixing bowls. In the larger mixing bowl, fill ice half-way into bowl. Place
   the smaller bowl on top of the large bowl of ice. Pour the whipping cream and
   sugar into the smaller bowl.
2. Using an electric hand mixer, whisk the cream and sugar on medium-low speed
   until the cream has thickened to medium peaks. Keep the whipped cream chilled
   until ready to use.

To assemble the fruit sandwiches (simple method):

1. Spread a big dollop of whipped cream onto each slice of bread and save the
   remaining whipped cream for later.
2. Place the fruit on only one slice of bread per sandwich. Now, add more whipped
   cream to fill in any gaps between the fruit. Top off the sandwich with the other slice
   of bread, whipped cream side down towards the fruit. Gently press the sandwich
   and cover with plastic wrap and place another plate on top to help compress the
   sandwich lightly. Chill for an hour to let the whipped cream set.
3. Unwrap and enjoy!

Optional: for presentation purposes, follow these steps when assembling the
sandwiches

1. Spread a big dollop of whipped cream onto each slice of bread and save the
   remaining whipped cream for later.
2. Place the fruit on only one slice of bread per sandwich. Lay strawberries onto the
   bread from the middle outward and lay in the same direction with strawberry tips
   pointing to the bottom of the bread slice. For grapes and oranges, put them
   crosswise. The idea is to slice the bread in half (top to bottom) to expose the fruit in
   a beautiful manner.
