Frushi – fruit sushi
This easy and delightfully different dessert is not only fun to eat but your kids will love to help assemble.
<br />The other day my captain B. and I had a sweet tooth and nothing sweet in the house (except me of course). My cravings were so intense I was about to settle on a piece of bread with jam but when I opened the fridge and saw the pack of tortilla I got the idea to make the fruit sushi – frushi.
<br />
<br />During my mission trip to Haiti, a few years back, tortilla wraps with jam and peanut butter were our daily lunch. Our little mobile medical clinic rode on a bus every morning to a different village; we set up our supplies under a tent and saw patients all day long without a break. There were no bathrooms, not even portable Johns and thank God we didn’t have to go. It was so hot, we were sweating our liquid intake right through and then some.
<br />I got quite fond of the simple lunch and to-date it is still my favorite. It also reminds me of the great group of people I served with and of those less fortunate. A PB&J tortilla wrap makes me more aware of my blessings than my loaded meatloaf deluxe ever could.
<br />
<br />I fancied it up by adding fruit and different spreads. Combinations are endless. This frushi satisfied our cravings and it was so fun to eat dipping the pieces in chocolate syrup and strawberry coulis!
