Any Season Fruit Bowl
"A co-worker was telling me about this fruit salad she made over Christmas and I decided to try it this weekend. It is delicious. Even my 5 year old GD loved this!! It came from the Taste of Home Treasury of Christmas Recipes. It is even better if you make it two days ahead as the anise extract mellows into the fruit. Prep time is only chopping of the fruit (I buy the grapefruit in the jar)"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a transplanted Texan. I have lived in different states as my father was in the service but basically grew up in Louisiana. So, I classify myself as a Texan, Cajun and Greek with all different taste in food. I've been married to my wonderful husband for 21 years and for many of those years he did most of the cooking with me doing the Holiday meals. We moved so I'm now only 4 minutes from work and I have much more time to experiment in the kitchen. My son and husband like to give their opinions on my attempts at new dishes.
