KOREAN FRUIT "PUNCH"

Steps:

• 1. Toss the fruit with 1/4 cup of the sugar in a serving bowl and let stand for 15 minutes.2. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the water, ginger slices, lemon zest, and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until well flavored and lightly syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool completely.3. Strain the syrup over the fruit and stir gently to mix. Sprinkle the pine nuts on top and serve immediately. I like to serve the punch in glass bowls or brandy snifters. It's perfectly acceptable to raise the bowl to your lips to sip the syrup.Serves 6
