Sunrise Fruit Compote

List of Ingredients




1 lemon
1 orange or tangerine
1 lime
1/3 cup sugar
2 large pears, cored and sliced
2 medium papayas, seeded, peeled and cubed
1 cup seedless red grapes
Fresh mint (optional)



Recipe



Halve the lemon, orange or tangerine, and lime; squeeze out all of the juice. (You should get about 3/4 cup total.) In a small saucepan combine citrus juice and sugar. Add half of the citrus shells. Bring to boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Discard shells.

In a large bowl combine pears, papayas, and grapes. Pour hot syrup over fruit, gently stirring to mix. Cover and chill for up to 4 hours. Before serving, garnish with mint, if desired.

Makes 6 servings.
