Tropical Fruit Compote

(4 servings)

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime rind
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
  • 3 oranges - separated into sections
  • 1 mango - chopped into cubes
  • 1 papaya - chopped into cubes
  • 2 medium red grapefruits - separated into sections
In a small sauce pan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Turn off the heat and add the rinds. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve, discarding any solids.

In a large bowl, mix together the fruit pieces. Drizzle the sugar syrup over the fruit and toss gently to mix.
