1 tablespoon finely chopped candied ginger

3 oranges

3 kiwis, peeled and halved lengthwise

1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, cut into small wedges

2 bananas, sliced

Step 1

In a small saucepan, cover ginger with 1/4 cup water and simmer until soft, about 2 minutes. Purée in a blender.

Step 2

Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over a serving bowl, cut between the inner membranes to release segments into bowl. Slice kiwi halves into half-moons and add to bowl along with pineapple and bananas. Pour in ginger syrup and stir gently to blend.
