Fall and Winter Fruit Salad

    During spring and summer, throwing together a fruit salad is so easy.  Dump in some delicious fresh berries, mix, done!  I just love berries, so it I only have eyes for them when they are ripe and delicious.  But we are heading into the season where a couple of things happen.  1. Berries get super expensive. 2. They taste like crap anyway. So we have to scramble and do something different.

   We went to a family get together recently and I was asked to bring fruit.  So I put together some of my favorites for this time of year.  The only problem is I didn't want the apples and bananas to turn brown between the time I cut them and serving time.  I knew a little lemon juice would help a lot, but I didn't want it to be too sour so I added a bit of honey too.  It is simple, but really delicious, healthy and fresh.  It is a perfect fruity side for the fall and winter season... then back to berries!
