The summer is nearly over and the winter is on it’s way again. For me, I will be going back to warming foods during the colder months. The other day I discovered I had leftover fruit from another recipe. Therefore I decided to make it into a fruit salad. I love a cold fruit salad on a warm summer’s day. It’s like eating a big bag of sweets but healthier. Once winter is officially here I will kiss goodbye to this dish but I know it will be back again next year.
