Comments

I use whatever fruit is in season, or whatever I have on hand. I have put in grapefruit, oranges or frozen fruit as well. For the marinade, I use just enough to coat the fruit and have kept the excess in a jar and refrigerated it for several weeks with no problems. I make up small batches of fruit, as needed. I also grate fresh ginger to add to the marinade.(about 1 T). Great at this time of the year. Enjoy!!
