Dragon fruit is a type of cactus fruit that can be found in Asian markets and in your grocery store's exotic fruit section. Covered with magenta skin and dotted with acid-green scales, it's a beautiful sight. Inside, the mild flesh is flecked with tiny black seeds. We used the white variety, but the flesh can also be red. Buy extra fruit and cut it into pretty half-moons to garnish the rims of the glasses.
This lamb dish gets its kick from a fiery Scotch bonnet pepper. They're one of the hottest peppers you'll find in grocery stores, so reduce the amount used if you don't like your curry overly spicy. Serve with roti or rice, and garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if you like.
Dotted with chopped red berries and white nuts, these make toothsome taste treats that look great, too.
For that festive touch, look for red and green candy-coated chocolate pieces available during the holidays.
Forget store-bought mints: refresh guests with these peppy mint-and-chocolate bars.
On a hot, sunny day, this sandwich makes a satisfying summer treat. The softer your dried fruit, the easier it is to cut and to eat, so always check the expiration date – and sample a piece – before use.
