Making carbonated fizzy fruit is a quick and simple process but will impress your dinner party guests to no end. All you need is a selection of fruit, a cream dispenser or soda siphon and CO2 chargers. It is important to check that you have the right chargers - Carbon dioxide (CO2) and NOT nitrous oxide (N2O) chargers as N2O cream chargers will not make the fruit fizzy but will give it a funny taste.
You will need:
- A selection of fruit, cut into bit sized pieces (as if you were making a fruit salad) Apples, oranges, kiwi fruit, pineapple and grapes work well, however, strawberries don't taste as great.
- A cream dispenser/whipper or soda siphon
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) charger
Method:
- Cut your fruit into bite sized pieces, grapes need to be cut in half as they often explode due to pressure in the siphon.
- Place the fruit into your siphon and charge it with CO2. You can place the siphon in the fridge overnight to increase the amount of CO2 in the fruit
- Release the pressure in the siphon before unscrewing the top and serving your now fizzy fruit.
- Note that the fruit needs to be eaten within 15 minutes of being released from the siphon, otherwise it will lose its 'fizz'.
