[kcjodih]

into so they don't turn brown when demoing? I think it's lemon lime soda. Is that correct? And if it is, what IS lemon lime soda? Sprite?

Yes...sprite or 7-up or any lemon & lime soda...

Wouldn't lemon juice work, too?

It would, but it might linger on the fruit, changing the taste.

 

[SusanBP0129]

Huh! Never thought of that! I will try Sprite next time! Thanks

I use orange juice alot because I always have some on hand.

Anything citrus will work. I use Mtn Dew cause it's what we have on hand. I have also used pineapple juice leftover from sliced or diced pineapple. Guests LOVE this tip!!!

 

[mareramseyer]

Milk works, too.

Apples Turning BrownI use something called fruit fresh. It should be in any grocery store.
Never had a problem with fruit turning brown.

Pineapple juice works great!Heard this one from the preschool teacher.

You can make acidulated water. Add a couple of tablespoons lemon or lime juice to 2 cups water. There'll be enough acid to cut the browning without having so much that the apples end up super tart.

Or you can spritz them with lemon juice using the Kitchen Spritzer.

Acidulated?You're a niece of Spiro Agnew, right?

 

[chefann]

Acidulated (ah-SID-you-lay-ted) is a perfectly cromulent word!

(Acidulated is commonly used in cooking manuals, etc. to indicate that an acid has been added.)

Cromulent is a made up word from The Simpsons, and was used in the same context, to mean "valid." (I'm a Simpson's fiend. My DH and I will occasionally have entire conversations that are nothing but quotes from the show.)

I always used what I called lemon water, but from here on out I will make sure to let everyone know that I am fully versed in making "Acidulated Water"

If you use lemon-lime soda, be sure it's regular, not diet. I don't know why, but diet doesn't seem to work well.

 

[AJPratt]

Does that really work? I have never done that before!
