Florida Heritage Foods

recipe

End of Summer fruit salad

Serves 4 to 5

What you’ll need:

  • 5 pears, with peel
  • 2 persimmons, peeled
  • 1 small bunch of grapes
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions:

Slice pears into a 2-quart saucepan. Add persimmons, cut into wedges, and grapes cut into halves with seeds removed. Pour lemon juice and honey over fruit and simmer briefly on low, stirring to prevent sticking. Do not overcook – the pears should retain their texture. 

Add a little water if necessary. 

Chef’s note: These fruits are also good together uncooked, with just a little lemon juice sprinkled over them.
