Citrus Salad with Spiced Raisins and Jicama Recipes

Ingredients :

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup warm water

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp ground cloves

1 tbsp ground nutmeg

2 tbsp honey

1 small grape fruit

2 medium oranges

2 medium tangerines

1/2 cup peeled and cubed jicama

Method :

Toast pecans at 375C for 5-8 minutes. In a medium saucepan, combine raisins, water, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until all water is absorbed. Let cool. Cut grapefruit in half and spoon out sections. Place in medium mixing bowl. Peel oranges and tangerines, divide into sections, and combine with grapefruit. Stir raisins into fruit mixture. Add jicama and toasted pecans. Chill thoroughly before serving.

Raisins spiked with clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon add a sweet and zesty flavor to this tangy, refreshing combination of citrus fruits, exotic jicama, and crunchy pecans. Nice for a light summer salad, dessert or special breakfast treat.

Serves 4-6
