How to Make 1905 Blue Ribbon Fruit Cup

  1. Prepare the citrus fruits: Cut off the top and bottom of 1 large grapefruit and 2 oranges.
  2. Using a sharp knife, peel away the rind and white pith from the grapefruit and oranges, working from top to bottom.
  3. Carefully separate the segments from the membranes, removing as much of the pith as possible.
  4. Cut the grapefruit and orange segments into small pieces (or leave whole, as preferred).
  5. Cut 1 cup of fresh pineapple into small bite-sized pieces. (If using canned, use 1 cup of drained pineapple chunks or slices).
  6. In a large bowl, gently combine the grapefruit, oranges, and pineapple.
  7. Add the dressing: Stir in ¼ cup of pineapple juice (or to taste) and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (or to taste). Adjust sweetness to preference.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the fruit mixture in individual dessert dishes or wide-mouth glasses for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  9. Just before serving: Add 1 medium ripe banana, sliced, and 1 medium apple, diced, to the chilled fruit cup. Serve immediately.
