Notes
A memory from my past, thanksgiving would not be thanksgiving without a helping of fruit salad to mix into my cornbread stuffing.
This is a simple and basic fruit salad / cocktail. The difference being the size of the fruit chunk. I usually go for an apple / pear, wedged to 8ths, thence each slice cut to 1/4". Citrus is peeled, segmented and cut to 4-6 pieces per segment. Grapes and cherries are halved, Canned peaches are cut similar to the citrus.
Note I wash the apple, pears, grapes quite well as I will not be peeling them, and do want the contrasting colors of the peels in the salad.
The "dressing" is a simple maceration due to the sugar, and the optional addition of a good bourbon.
