Chopped Competition - Hands Up!


Emmie has been watching Chopped on the Food Network.  She choose her own ingredients here.  Emmie melted syrup in the toaster oven, drizzled it over the apples, sprinkled cinnamon on top, placed the blueberries and then cut up a cheese stick before plating as shown.  Emulating the show, she finished with her "Hands Up".

Emmie then chose 7 ingredients and placed them in a wicker basket for me:  Plum, Apricot, Apple, Grape Tic Tacs, Cinnamon, Peanut Butter and a Cheesestick.  Emmie served as the judge for me:
"The texture of these two ingredients together (my genius idea of an apple slice with peanut butter) is.....wow.....it blows my mind.  You made my day."

Later in the week, she combined fresh lime juice with orange juice to form a sauce.  She judged her own creation, "I just love, love, love this sauce that I made."  Grandpa and I, as judges, enjoyed dipping graham crackers, Lays potato chips and apple slices into the sauce.
