Recipe: Cardamom Citrus Fruit Salad

I wanted to serve a healthier dessert after dinner and this didn't disappoint.  This was a real treat with it's sweet and sour flavours and the wonderful aftertaste of cardamom.   Everyone loved the cardamom spice and the honey-lime sauce.

CARDAMOM CITRUS FRUIT SALAD
from Simply Recipes

1 large ruby pink grapefruit
3 navel oranges or a combination of naval oranges, blood oranges, mandarin oranges and/or tangerines
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Peel the fruit. Cut away the membranes of the individual segments with a sharp knife. Collect the peeled segments in a bowl.

Drain off any excess juice from the fruit into a small saucepan. Add the lime juice, honey, and cardamom to the saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes and then remove from heat and let cool to room temp. Pour over fruit mixture and gently fold in so that all the fruit is coated. Let stand for 15 minutes or chill until ready to serve.

Serves 4.
