    Gingered winter fruit medley

    This simple and pretty combination of winter fruits — pears, apples, oranges, and pineapple, spiced with crystallized ginger — is a refreshing finish to any meal.

    It's pretty enough to serve as a Christmas dinner dessert, but easy enough to make for a weeknight meal.

    If you're looking for a light and refreshing dessert idea, you've come to the right place. This sweet treat is simple to throw together, and hits the spot every time.

    Tips and Tricks

    Crystallized ginger is really the ingredient that takes this simple fruit salad to the next level. You can find it at most grocery stores, or order it online. I personally like this one from Badia.

    You can use any non-dairy yogurt of your choice. I prefer coconut yogurt myself, but soy based products are great as well. Experiment with your own favorite flavors!

    Experiment with your own favorite fruits, in addition to the ones in this recipe. I used winter fruits when I created this recipe for the holidays, but it would be delicious with many summer fruits as well!

    It would go especially well with strawberries, peaches, or fresh pomelo.

      My suggestion is to dip the pear and apple pieces in the pineapple juice right after dicing. Prevents browning. Also, I never really did cotton to cranberries, so I used drid cherries.
