THANKSGIVING FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Add the sugar, dried cranberries, rosemary, cinnamon stick and 1/2 cup water to a small pot. Using a vegetable peeler, peel 1 large strip of zest from one of the oranges and add to the pot. Set over medium heat, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar and pressing the solids down into the mixture, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool the syrup to room temperature.
• Discard the rosemary, cinnamon and orange zest. Strain the syrup through a sieve into a small bowl; set aside. Add the cranberries to a large bowl.
• Remove the remaining zest from the oranges using a paring knife, following the shape of the fruit. Carefully cut between the sections to release whole segments and add to the bowl with the cranberries. Add the red and green grapes, pomegranate seeds, pears and apples to the bowl and toss together.
• Pour half the reserved syrup over top of the fruit and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, tossing occasionally, for at le1 hour and up to 4 to let the fruit marinate in the syrup. Before serving, taste and add additional syrup as desired.

FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the fruit with a small serrated knife. Cut the top and bottom off the kiwi, stand it up on one of its flat surfaces and cut away the skin, keeping the knife as close to the skin as possible. Slice in half, following the core through the centre, then cut each half into slices. Put in a bowl and repeat with the other kiwi.
• Carefully cut the skin off the mango and slice off each cheek, running your knife as close to the stone as you can. Cut each piece into slices. Remove any remaining fruit from the stone in long thin slices. Add the mango to the kiwi.
• Top and tail the pineapple, then in a similar way to the kiwi, cut away the skin. Use your knife to go around the pineapple, taking out the divets or eyes, two to three at a time, you'll be left with a spiral pattern weaving around the outside of the fruit. Take of a circular slice, roughly 150g, quarter, remove the core then cut into chunks. Add to the bowl.
• Halve the grapes and add to the rest of the fruit along with the berries, you may want to slice or halve strawberries if they're large. Remove the peel from the orange using the same method as the kiwi and pineapple. Holding the orange over the bowl of fruit, remove the orange segments by carefully cutting between the membrane and the fruit. The pieces should fall out into the bowl along with any juice. Squeeze the membrane over the fruit to extract the juice, add a drizzle of honey, if you like. Mix everything together and leave in the fridge to macerate for 30 mins, if you have time.
