FruitFast Announces First Recipe Contest Berry-Cherry Challenge Entries Due April 5th

TRAVERSE CITY, MI, March 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) It's the first ever recipe contest sponsored by the industry leader of natural, all-fruit products promoting healthy living, http://www.fruitfast.com.

Contest manager and FruitFast resident gourmet cook/ blogger, Debbie Colaianni, says the winning original recipe entrant using FruitFast products will receive their choice of either a new KitchenAid Mixer or a $250 cash prize.

The Berry-Cherry Challenge starts now with entries accepted through Tuesday, April 5. The top three winners will be announced on Wednesday, April 20. Second and third place winners will receive $125 and $75 respectively of FruitFast products. Plus the first 25 contest entrants will receive $2 off any Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast product of their choice just for entering!

"The two contest categories are Entrees and Desserts," said Debbie, who will judge the final entries with two FruitFast staffers. "The possibilities for imaginative recipes seems limitless as submissions can incorporate Brownwood Acres/ FruitFast products and our extensive line of super fruit juice concentrates, dried fruits, fruit liquid varieties of CherryFlex, Mixed Berry and Wonderful Pomegranate. We are very excited to see what creative concoctions are entered and then share them with our customers on our website, with Facebook friends and the general public."

The first phase judging criteria will be based on originality, ease of preparation and creative use of the FruitFast product(s).

Successful submissions moving on to Phase II will be judged on originality, ease of preparation, taste, and creative use of fruit. The panel will prepare and judge the final entries based on this criteria.
