- Don't adjust your television set.

You got the Dame brothers in mama's kitchen this morning.
0:06
- Or you might want to.
0:09
- We're doing a fruit salad.
0:10
Now mom does a delicious fruit salad.
0:13
- That's right. That lady days. Do you remember?
0:15
- And she serves it with a custard.
0:18
this fruit salad is going to have a topping as well,
0:20
but it's gonna be a little different than that.
0:22
- We're doing a fruit salad with
0:23
a cream Cream Cheese-pecan Topping
0:26
Right now I'm cutting fresh strawberries
0:27
and some green grapes got blueberries and some fresh
0:31
blackberries and one star fruit and a cantaloupe.
0:33
And I'm going to use two cups of everything except for the
0:37
blackberries where we're gonna use about a cup of those.
0:39
Were from the Southwest corner of the state of Georgia.
0:42
And blackberries are just everywhere down there.
0:45
But you gotta be careful picking them because rattlesnakes
0:48
live in the Blackberry bushes.
0:49
- And that's what mama always told us
0:51
- No, it's true. I seen them.
0:53
- So a Blackberry Bush was like the coolest bonus for us.
0:57
If you got a blackberries grown in your yard and man,
0:59
that's like a, this fruit is good for you.
1:02
Good for your health.
1:04
It's got bunch of sugar in it too.
1:06
So it's like candy that grows in the yard.
1:08
Okay I'm gonna take my pecans.
1:11
That's about a half a cup.
1:13
I'm gonna take a half a cup, a whipping cream.
1:18
We used to get by black berries
1:19
at grand mama Paul's house and her neighbor,
1:21
Mr Carr had strawberry bushes.
1:24
We used to pick all kinds of,
1:26
and that's one of the good things about living in the South
1:28
is you can just pick a lot of stuff, right?
1:29
Fresh out of the ground. And I remember granny Pa,
1:32
having the best vegetable garden
1:36
and our uncle Bob down in Florida
1:37
had orange and grapefruit trees
1:40
- I've got a quarter of a cup of powdered sugar.
1:43
When you use this whole package of cream cheese,
1:45
this is eight ounces of cream cheese.
1:49
And we always have pecan trees too.
1:50
And pecans is going to be something that Jack remembers.
1:52
We've got some pecan trees in the yard
1:54
and Jack loves to go out.
1:56
He thinks it's the neatest thing that he can find them,
1:58
crack them and then eat them.
2:00
Okay, I'm going to turn this all together.
2:04
- Now that cream cheese I'm sure is softened, right?
2:10
- And that means I can try it. Right?
2:24
- Bobby. I've got this all turned up.
2:26
I'm just gonna, wanna add a little bit of lemon juice.
2:31
- This is about two tablespoons,
2:35
- who don't love a Blackberry.
2:38
- This is a pretty juicy lemon.
2:39
I think I got two tablespoons out of there
2:43
I got to get a spoon.
2:48
This' a cube less cantaloupe,
2:50
mama used to tell us when we were boys,
2:52
that if you ate the seeds out of something,
2:54
then you'd grow trees out of your ears.
2:57
Remember that? Not true.
3:00
- Turn this a couple more times.
3:02
The lemon juice makes it really smooth.
3:04
That's a little bit of liquid in there that keeps it from
3:06
being like stiffing green cheese.
3:12
- The Lusher also adds a little bit of that citrus flavor.
3:16
It's going to marry it up with our fruit really well.
3:21
I'm going to help you cut this star fruit.
3:25
This is one of my best sellers. When we started the bag lady
3:28
- Summer time and we'd be running our routes
3:30
all over Savannah and just remember it was beautiful
3:33
fresh fruit salads that mama made and
3:35
people love them so much.
3:39
- This is a basket of spoon.
3:41
why is this so genius?
3:45
It's the older brothers.
3:50
- Okay. Now we're going to put this
3:51
into a really pretty dish Vermont.
3:59
Now you can put anything you want to in here.
4:01
I think orange was a really pretty and really easy to do
4:15
right on top. That looks beautiful.
4:17
- Speaking of lemon juice,
4:18
I think if you wanted to squeeze a little bit of fresh lemon
4:20
on that, you could let that fruit hold, right?
4:22
- If you wanted to, that's a good trick.
4:25
If you're working with fresh fruit,
4:26
you can put lemon juice on them and it'll keep it from
4:29
- Oh, that looks great.
4:30
- Yeah. I see a little garnish with just a couple of nuts,
4:34
- It looks great. I'm going to taste it.
4:36
I'm going to try the theory of the starfruit gets better
4:38
with cream, cheese and sugar.
4:45
- This reminds me guys of the fruit sandwich
4:48
we used to make for the bad boys exactly
4:51
only we did the French customs.
4:54
what kind of topping and did y'all make for the fruit?
4:56
- Green cheese and pecan
5:00
- Oh, it looks yummy.
5:01
- Get that black berry right there.
5:03
- Yes. Get in there and get you some
5:05
- glad you enjoyed your breakfast.
5:07
What a wonderful surprise. This is delicious.
5:09
I am like the luckiest woman in the world.
5:13
- we had a lot of fun doing it.
5:13
- I've got two of the sweetest sons that God ever put breath
5:17
in and you know, I it's a bonus I can cook
5:27
- I had fun. And than you all for tuning in.
