Winter Fruit Salad

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.
