Trees and Snow

== Ingredients ==
* 1 head broccoli or broccoflower
* 1 tablespoon water
* 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar or fresh lemon juice
* sugar
* salt
=== Snow ===
* ⅔ cup mayonnaise
* ½ cup sour cream
== Directions ==
# Cut broccoli into florets, preferably large-ish ones with plenty of stem.
# Cut the sides off the bottom part of the stem, discard the very bottom and sides, and slice, if so desired (they're not trees, but they can be "stumps").
# Place in a microwave-safe bowl.
# Pour in water and vinegar or lemon juice.
# Sprinkle with sugar and salt to taste (don't overdo it; you can always adjust later).
# Cover with plastic wrap.
# Microwave about 1 minute 15 seconds, or until broccoli is very bright green and just a little soft, but still with all its yummy crunch.
# Remove covering and let cool a bit; trees are good either at room temperature or a little above, but you don't want them to "melt" the snow!.
# Mix mayonnaise and sour cream well to make snow.
# Serve trees with snow for dipping, or lay out trees on plate and use a spoon to dab snow on their tops.
