SAUTEED VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Toss vegetables together in a medium bowl.
• In a medium saute pan, heat the butter and water together over medium heat. Add the vegetables to the pan and turn the heat to medium high. Toss the vegetables, by gently moving the pan back and forth over the flame. Cook the vegetables for 3 to 4 minutes, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the vegetables to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
• Cook the vegetables in 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter, without the water. Do this over high heat and brown and crisp the vegetables slightly.
• Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, minced shallot, a teaspoon of grated peeled fresh ginger to the pan before adding the vegetables. - Enhance the vegetables at the end of cooking with a tablespoon or so of minced fresh herbs, like chopped flat-leaf parsley, dill, mint, basil, cilantro, or thyme.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Fill a large bowl with ice water, and put a colander or strainer in it. Add the vegetable to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, until crisp tender, or the desired degree of doneness. Scoop the vegetable from the water and immediately put them in the ice water, to stop the cooking and set their color. Cool and drain, and use as desired. When blanching a mix of vegetables, don't cook them together since they may not all cook at the same time. Start with the lightest colored or mildest flavored vegetable, and blanch and refresh each vegetable, one after the other, until cooked as desired.

Steps:

• Prepare glaze first so it can be cooling while you prepare the fruit.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and honey. Grate the zest from the two lemons or limes. Add the zest to the pan. Juice one of the lemons or limes, being careful to get all the juice you can squeeze from it-if the lemon or lime is small, then go ahead and juice the second one also. Add the juice to the pan.
• Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium high heat. As soon as the mixture boils up to the point where it almost boils over, remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Strain the mixture into a container or jar. The syrup will be thin, but this is okay. It will coat the fruit easily.
• Add all fruit to a large serving bowl. Start by pouring 1/2 cup glaze onto fruit and toss. Add more glaze as desired. Cover and refrigerate Fruit Medley until ready to serve.
