Fruit Salad Recipe

Peel a thin layer from the orange rind and cut into fine strips

Place in a small saucepan; add enough water to cover

Cook slowly for 15 minutes; strain

While the peel cooks, remove the white membrane from the peeled orange and peel the remaining ones; cut into pieces over a bowl, so as not to lose the juice

Add the pieces to the bowl

Peel the pear, remove the seeds and cut it

Peel the banana and cut into slices

Add the oranges

Add sugar to the cooked orange peel

Cook slowly, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves

Add the hot mixture to the fruits and stir well

Refrigerate
