The Slice
July 2012 Issue
Ramadan is almost here. Kol
sana wentum tayebeen! In other words, happy returns of the holy month!
We have been busy during
the last few weeks drying some very special fruits for the Ramadan yameesh (dried
fruits). Check our list of products for this month and try some of the new
items.
Minnie’s Dried Fruits & Vegetables was in the news again
this month! Cairo Kitchen’s blog interviewed us and published a nice article which
you may read at the following link:

And we encourage you to try some of our recipes that use Minnie’s Dried Fruits
& Vegetables.
What's New This Month...
Egyptian Apricots: We dry these delicious apricots with no
preservatives or color enhancers, thus their color is slightly darker, and their
taste is still great.
Egyptian Dried Plums: Also known
as prunes. Try them! They are dark and juicy
and delicious. We have removed the pits and split them in half for your
enjoyment.
Cherries: imported from Lebanon and Syria, pitted, and
split in two. We dried them to a chewy state to enhance their flavor.
Khoshaaf Mix: composed of Egyptian apple crescents, apricots,
cherries, peaches from Sinaii, prunes, pears and raisins. Soak them in hot
water and use for khoshaf (recipe at the end).
Yameesh Mix: very much the same as the Khoshaaf Mix except all the stones and pits have
been removed from the apricots, cherries, peaches, and prunes to give you a
delicious chewy dried mix for your after iftar snacking enjoyment.
Please help us continue to grow. When

Vegetables on Facebook and go ahead and subscribe
