It's not every community that has five-year-olds who already know what Bosc pears are. "Oh, I love those brown ones!" Yay! We are lucky. Everyone should be friends with Bosc pears, they are delicious. And just wait till you mix 'em with pineapple and apples and a bit of brown sugar and spice.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice or allspice (to taste – some kids found this too spicy)
- 3 apples, cut in chunks
- 2 Bosc pears, cut in chunks
- 2 cups sliced fresh pineapple (frozen would work, but drain it)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- In the bottom of a salad bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, lemon zest, juice and spices.
- Add all the fruit and raisins, and toss gently until all pieces are coated.
- Serve topped with the almonds.
