Fruits en Papillote
Baking fruits into folded pouches means that all the aromas you choose to bring together stay there. Here we’ve mixed juicy or creamy fruits with butter, chocolate, or walnuts. We’ve sweetened them and flavored them with rum, peach liqueur, and citrus juice. You can think about other, maybe even more interesting combinations.
