How to make Thanksgiving Fruit Salad?
- Prep fruit by rinsing, drying, and chopping. Drain mandarins.
- In a large bowl combine chopped fruit, mandarins, pomegranate seeds, blueberries, and pecans.
- Zest the orange into the bowl, then squeeze the juice into a separate container.
- Add brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice to the orange juice, stir, then pour over the fruit and mix.
- Refrigerate until ready to eat.
Can you cut up the fruit for a fruit salad the night before?
If you can make it the same day you will eat it it’s best, otherwise you might get some browning of the apples and pears. However, making it the night before in addition to tossing it in the orange dressing should help the fruit from turning brown.
