Winter Fruit Bowl
Winter Fruit Bowl
Favorite fruits of the winter months — grapefruit and cranberries — are
combined in this fruit salad, which also can be served as a refreshing
dessert.
3 medium grapefruit
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 cups cranberries (8 ounces)
3 medium bananas, sliced
Cut a thin slice from each end of each grapefruit. Using a very sharp
utility knife or a serrated knife and cutting from the top of the fruit
down, cut off the grapefruit peel and the white membrane. (Or, cut around
the fruit in a spiral.) Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between
one fruit section and the membrane. Cut to the center of the fruit. Turn the
knife and slide it up the other side of the section next to the membrane;
repeat to make sections. Remove any seeds from the fruit sections. Set
grapefruit sections aside (should have about 3 cups).
Add enough water to the reserved grapefruit juice to measure 1 cup. In a
medium saucepan combine the 1 cup grapefruit juice, the sugar, and
marmalade. Heat to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add cranberries;
cook and stir for 5 to 8 minutes or until skins pop. Remove from heat; cool.
Stir grapefruit into cranberry mixture. Cover and refrigerate until
thoroughly chilled.
Just before serving, stir sliced bananas into chilled grapefruit mixture.
Makes 10 side-dish servings.
