WINTER FRUIT SALAD WITH POMEGRANATES AND PERSIMMONS

Serves 4 to 6.

Note: This is more of a road map than a specific recipe. Proceed intuitively. Section the citrus fruit over a bowl to save and include all the delicious juice! Save and include the pineapple juice, too.

• 1 medium fresh, ripe pineapple, peeled

• 3 to 4 oranges and/or blood oranges, peeled, seeded and sectioned

• 1 to 2 ruby grapefruit, peeled, seeded and sectioned

• 1 to 2 medium Fuyu persimmons, thinly sliced

• 1 large firm apple (any kind), cored and sliced

• 1 to 2 large, firm pears (any kind), cored and sliced

• Seeds from 2 to 3 large pomegranates

•Fresh mint leaves (sprigs or thin strips) for garnish

Directions

Combine the pineapple, citrus fruits and persimmon slices in a medium-large bowl. Within about 15 minutes of serving, gently toss in the apple and pear slices. Serve topped with a generous amount of pomegranate seeds, and garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
