Winter Fruit Salad with Pomegranates
Adapted from Vegetable Paradise
Preparation time: About 10 hrs (twenty minutes of labor)
Yield: 6 servings
We do not normally consider creating a fruit salad in the winter months, but reconsider. You are able to usually find fresh pineapple, oranges, grapefruit, apples, bananas, pears (and pomegranates) within the produce department.
Pomegranates possess a limited season (mid-fall through The month of january), causing them to be even more special. So celebrate the wintertime solstice with this particular beautiful, tart fruit salad, adorned with glistening, scarlet pomegranate seeds!
NOTE: Nowadays you are able to frequently find fresh summer time fruit on the market in the winter months. It's generally been imported in the southern hemisphere, that has opposite seasons. If you do not mind having to pay the cost and taking advantage of this non-local, "shipped and handled" (in most cases non-organic) fruit, proceed. This can be you.
Please be aware that this really is much more of a guide than a real, specific recipe. Proceed without effort.

Juice a few of the pomegranates, and seed others, placing seeds and juice inside a bowl. Stir within the pineapple and citrus sections, including all of the juices. Slice and add apples, pears, and/or bananas right before serving, so that they will not discolor or wilt.
