Cardamom Citrus Fruit Salad

The leaves are all down, apples, pomegranates, and persimmons all picked, days mostly overcast and dreary, save for neighborhood citrus trees with their orange and yellow orbs dotting the landscape with vivid color. Citrus trees love winter in California and our lemon, grapefruit and orange trees are heavy with fruit. Here's a cheerful fruit salad made with colorful citrus. The cardamom provides a lovely accent to the honey-sweetened citrus segments.

Ingredients
- 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 cardamon
Method
1 Peel the fruit. Cut away the membranes of the individual segments with a sharp knife. Collect the peeled segments in a bowl.
2 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.
