CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Cut citrus fruit into supremes, making sure to reserve juices.
• On dessert plates, alternate grapefruit and orange supremes in an outside circle, leaving room in center for bananas.
• Combine juices which came out of grapefruit and oranges when you peeled and cut them into supremes, with some flavored syrup.
• Peel bananas, cut into thin rounds and center them inside oranges and grapefruit. Drizzle syrup over citrus and bananas and garnish with fresh mint.
• Heat wine, water, honey and cheesecloth bag and simmer, uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes or until 1 1/2 cups of liquid remain. Remove and discard cheesecloth.
• Use to spoon over citrus, bananas, kiwi, fresh apricots, peaches and nectarines
• In a cheesecloth, tie 12 crushed cardamom pods, whole coriander seeds, whole cloves and allspice or anything else you really like.
