How to Make Winter Fruit Salad

  1. Drain one 20-ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving 3/4 cup of the juice.
  2. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
  3. Add the reserved pineapple juice, 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, and 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice to the saucepan.
  4. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly.
  5. Continue to cook and stir for 1 minute more.
  6. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  7. In a large bowl, gently combine 2 cups cubed oranges, 2 cups cubed apples (Honeycrisp or Fuji recommended), and 2 ripe bananas, sliced.
  8. Add the drained pineapple chunks to the fruit.
  9. Pour the warm citrus glaze over the fruit mixture.
  10. Gently stir to coat all the fruit evenly.
  11. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
