Autumn queen's fruit salad

Autumn queen's fruit salad is cut into evenly sized cubes, then mixed with honey and cinnamon. It’s juicy, with the pieces still holding their shape, and the grapes, pears and plums give it an autumn flavor. I serve it in small glasses, so each spoonful has several kinds of fruit. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 0 minutes. Total time: 20 minutes. Servings: 4. Approximately 265 kcal and 2 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 bunches of grapes (600 g)
- 4 plums (200 g)
- 3 peaches (450 g)
- 1 medium apple (180 g)
- 2 medium pears (360 g)
- 1 tablespoon honey (21 g)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (3 g)
Preparation
1. Wash the grapes and fruit, then drain them well. 2. Remove the grapes from the stems. Remove the pits from the plums and peaches and the cores from the apple and pears, then cut all the fruit into cubes. 3. Put the fruit in a bowl, add the honey and cinnamon, and mix well.
Notes
For a vegan version, replace the honey with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Choose ripe but still firm pears and peaches; fruit that’s too soft gets squashed in the bowl. It’s easy to get carried away when mixing, and a few broad strokes are enough to keep the soft fruit from getting crushed. If the plums are very juicy, add them to the bowl last and mix briefly. The salad keeps covered in the fridge for up to 3 days, but the apple turns brown and the fruit softens, so the texture is best on the day it’s made. Unlike fruit compote, this has raw pieces of fruit; serve it alongside plain yogurt for a more filling dessert in a glass.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use nectarines instead of peaches?
Yes, use 3 nectarines instead of the 3 peaches to keep the same amount of fruit.
Can I replace the apple with a green one?
Yes, use 1 green apple instead of the regular apple; the flavor will be more tart.
How do I keep the apple from turning brown?
Toss it right away with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, then add the other fruit.
What if the cinnamon is too strong?
Use 1/2 teaspoon instead of the full teaspoon, then taste the salad after mixing.
Can I add orange?
Yes, replace 1 pear with 1 small orange, peeled and with the white pith removed.
