Fruit Salad

Yes I know, anyone can make a fruit salad. But some never stray past your everyday apples, oranges, and bananas, which is cool, but variety is the spice of life.

You need - for 4-6:
1 pineapple
1 mango
1 grapefruit
1 passion fruit
2 kiwi fruit
grapes
a sprig of mint
sugar or honey

Remove the top and bottom of the pineapple and throw them away. Stand it up and slice down the sides, removing the skin. Set the skin aside. Cut the pineapple length ways into 8. Remove the hard centre bits, and set them aside. (all these bits you are setting aside will be used later) Cut the pineapple up and put in a large bowl.

Remove the skin from the mango and set it aside. Cut away the flesh and put it in the bowl with the pineapple. Discard the stone.
Cut the top, bottom, and skin off the grapefruit, in the same way as the pineapple, and set them aside also. Cut the segments out from the skin and put them in the bowl, set the skin aside.

With 1 kiwi take off the skin, and you guessed it, set it aside. Cut the kiwi up and put in the bowl. With the other one, throw it in the blender, with all the stuff you have been setting aside, and the mint. Switch on.

Meanwhile slice the grapes in half.
Once the skins and things in the blender have been reduced to a pulp, tip them into a sieve, and force out the juices into a bowl. You should get a thick consistency. When you think you have got everything you can, tip the remaining mush into a clean tea towel and squeeze out the juice (there will be some). Add the sugar or honey to your own taste.
Scrape the insides out of the passion fruit and mix in to the rest of the fruit. Tip the sauce over the fruit and arrange the grapes on top. A healthy, gorgeous dessert.
