Ideas for Canned Fruit

I was recently given two cans of fruit by a friend. I think a lot of us have hangups about canned fruit and canned vegetables - their freshness, their nutritional value, etc. Is that a fair judgment or have we just grown up having unfounded ideas? Do you have any interesting ideas or recipes that could turn this canned fruit (medley) into something fantastic?

  • I think the main problem with canned fruit is that it's usually packed in syrup or fruit juice which adds additional sugar and calories. You could use it to make smoothies or popsicles, a fruit cocktail cake - this is a well-known cake in the Southern U.S., add to muffins, puree and add to cocktails. Hope that helps! Best, Lynn C.
