There are many ways to reuse overripe fruit during Tet, ensuring no waste.
Make sauce
If you have an excess of fruit stocked up over the holidays, you can easily turn it into a simple sauce to spread on toast, drizzle over pancakes or a slice of cake.
Take the leftover fruit and put it in a saucepan over low heat with sugar to taste. Remember it will thicken as it cools. Blend it into a smooth sauce or keep it as a paste to create a textured mixture.
Smoothie
Making a morning smoothie is a great way to ensure no fruit goes to waste and is a nutritious mid-afternoon, post-workout treat.
From leftover berries in a box to half a banana lying around in the fridge, you can create countless delicious smoothies from unused fruit.
Additionally, you can also add some pantry items like nuts and oats to increase the nutrition of this drink.
Make salad dressing
Fruits are a perfect match when it comes to salad dressings. Whatever fruit you choose, they will pair well with salads.
Preserve
Turning leftover fruit into jam is a clever way to cut waste and create a variety of dishes.
With just fruit and sugar from your pantry, you can concoct all sorts of jams that pair perfectly with cheeses, toasts and holiday chicken dishes or add a delicious layer to cakes.
