Papaya Ginger Fools
Makes 8 ½-cup ramekin servings
- 2 cups fresh papaya
- ½ lime, juiced
- ¼" ginger root slice, peeled and minced
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh grapes, quartered and seeded
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup extra fine sugar
- 1 cup no or low fat vanilla yogurt
Garnish
- ½ cup apricot preserves, strained
- 8 blueberries
Place papaya in a blender and purée until smooth. Add lime juice and ginger and continue to purée until all ingredients are blended. (This makes about 2/3 cups of puréed papaya.) Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors marry.
Chill a metal bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Whip cream to soft peaks and add sugar. Continue whipping until peaks are firm. Fold in puréed fruit and then yogurt. Equally divide blueberries and grapes in eight (8) ½-cup ramekins. Spoon mixture on top of the fresh fruit and garnish with a spider web design of strained apricot preserves and a blueberry.
About Two Sisters Inn
 Two Sisters Inn is an award-winning traditional B&B with cozy cottage for two in the Colorado Rocky Mountains at the base of Pikes Peak. The 5-bedroom Inn was built in 1919 as the Sunburst boarding house for schoolteachers, and in 1990 it was restored by Innkeepers Sharon and Wendy and opened as the Two Sisters Inn. It is located in the heart of the Manitou Springs Historic District, known for its icy-cold, naturally-carbonated, drinking Mineral Springs--it makes the best lemonade (especially the lithium spring)! The quaint town is filled with art galleries, antique shops, an early 1900's Penny Arcade, and fabulous restaurants. Wendy and Sharon, formally trained chefs, prepare healthy and creative breakfasts, both delicious and exquisitely presented, using fresh produce, herbs and flowers from their much-loved garden. This is the perfect place for your home base for outdoor adventure--hiking, biking, horseback riding and mountain climbing. The famous Cog Railway to the top of Pikes Peak (14,115 ft.) and the magnificent red rock formations in the Garden of the Gods are less than a mile away. It's a magical experience!
