Exotic fruit cocktail recipe

Ingredients

• 2 oranges
• 2 large passion fruit
• 1 pineapple
• 1 pomegranate
• 1 banana

1. Cut 1 orange in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl, discarding any pips. Using a sharp knife, cut away all the peel and pith from the second orange. Working over the bowl to catch the juice, carefully cut the orange segments between the membranes to obtain skinless segments of fruit. Discard any pips.
2. Cut the passion fruit in half, scoop the flesh into a nylon strainer and, using a spoon, push the pulp and juice into the bowl of orange segments. Discard the pips.
3. Using a sharp knife, cut away all the skin from the pineapple and cut the flesh lengthwise into fourths. Cut away the central hard core. Cut the flesh into chunks and add to the orange and passion fruit mixture. Cover and, if you are not serving at once, let the fruit chill.
4. Cut the pomegranate into fourths and, using your fingers or a teaspoon, remove the red seeds from the membrane. Cover and let chill until ready to serve—do not add too early to the fruit cocktail because the seeds discolor the other fruit.
5. Just before serving, peel and slice the banana, add to the fruit cocktail with the pomegranate seeds, and mix thoroughly. Serve at once.
