Our Christmas meal always began with this refreshing, colorful cup that combines seven different fruits. You could even serve it as a light summer dessert with a scoop of lime sherbet.Janet Wood, Windham, New Hampshire Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
2 medium grapefruit |
2 medium navel oranges |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
2 cups halved fresh strawberries |
1 medium apple, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 medium pear, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 medium banana, sliced |
1 cup halved green grapes |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Cool completely.
2. Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of each grapefruit; stand grapefruit upright on a cutting board. Cut off peel and outer membrane, starting from the top. Holding fruit over a bowl to catch juices, remove grapefruit sections by cutting along the membrane. Repeat with oranges.
3. Place lemon juice, sugar syrup, citrus sections and reserved juices in a large bowl; toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight. Stir in remaining fruit; refrigerate, covered, 1 hour longer. Yield: 10 servings.
