Preparation

Step 1

Drain syrup from peaches into small saucepan. Place peaches in large bowl. Over medium-high heat, heat syrup, cinnamon, and ground allspice to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Set syrup mixture aside to cool while preparing fruit.

Grate peel from 1 orange; set aside. Cut peel from oranges and grapefruit. To catch juice, hold fruit over bowl with peaches and cut sections from oranges and grapefruit between membranes; drop sections into bowl.

Cut peel and core from pineapple; cut fruit into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Add pineapple to fruit in bowl.

Pour syrup mixture over fruit in bowl. Add grated orange peel; toss. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Just before serving, hull strawberries; cut strawberries in half if large. Cut peel from kiwifruit. Slice each kiwifruit lengthwise into 6 wedges. Toss strawberries and kiwifruit with fruit mixture. Place fruit salad in serving bowl. Sprinkle with crystallized ginger.
