Purple Food and Drink Ideas

• Purple coleslaw: shred or finely chop some red cabbage and dress with a vinaigrette or mayonnaise.  Add some chopped red onion if you like the taste.  Sprinkle with some dried cranberries for an interesting twist.
• Beetroot makes anything purple - bake it, put in a salad, or crack open a tin.
• For purple fruit salad, chop up a selection of purple fruit and mix in a bowl with a bit of fruit juice to prevent browning. Purple fruits include blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, plums, red grapes, cherries.  Dragon fruit and passion fruit are purple on the outside.
• Purple jelly: buy a packet of jelly crystals, or for a fruitier version use fruit juice (try grape juice) and unflavoured gelatin -- the packet usually has instructions. 
• Purple meringues made from egg whites, sugar, and food colouring.  Serve with berries!

• Purple drinks include grape juice and juice blends with blueberries or other purple berries.  Make purple ice cubes by adding a small amount of food colouring to water before putting in ice cube trays and freezing.  Herbal teas, fruit teas and tisanes come in a wide range of colours and can be served hot or as an iced tea.
• Purple alcoholic drinks include sangria made with red wine and a purple fruit juice, and cocktails made with the liqueurs Parfait Amour and Black Sambuca.  Browse Winemakers Choice for spirits and liqueurs delivered around Australia.
