By

Ingredients

  • Fruit for salad(you really can use any fruit that you like, but here are some ideas):
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice (fresh)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange peel (zest)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon peel (zest)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  • 2 cups strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 3 green kiwifruit (peeled and sliced)
  • 3 bananas (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 cups red or green grapes (1 cup green grapes, 1 cup red grapes)
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh)
  • 2 cups pineapple (fresh, cubed)

Preparation

Step 1

Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.

Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
