About

Adapted some years ago from a recipe in a Middle Eastern cookbook and very exotic in both colour and taste. Add pomegranate seeds if you can get them. They are like nectar and the rose colour is superb. Use the melon shell to serve this salad.

Method

To seed and fillet the oranges and grapefruit, first peel the skin and membrane off both. Using a sharp knife, cut down one side of the membrane between each segment and flip the segment out, removing the seeds at the same time. Macerate the orange, grapefruit and pineapple in the Cointreau and grenadine syrup and add the mint and saffron. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
