Vibrant Citrus and Orchard Fruit Medley

Ingredients

- 2 large pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 oranges, peeled and segmented
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (approximately 1 lime)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (approximately 1 lime)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Fruits:
- Begin by washing all fresh produce thoroughly.
- Peel the pears and apples, then core them and cut into thin slices. Similarly, peel the oranges and separate them into segments.

2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sliced pears, apples, and orange segments. Ensure the bowl is large enough to allow gentle mixing without spilling.

3. Add Lime Flavoring:
- Pour the lime juice over the fruit mixture, then sprinkle the lime zest evenly on top. Gently toss the fruits to ensure an even coating of lime juice and zest.

4. Microwave Cooking:
- Cover the bowl loosely with microwave-safe wrap or a microwave-safe lid to prevent moisture from escaping.
- Set your microwave to medium power. Cook the fruit mixture for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the fruits begin to soften and the juices start to blend.

5. Cooling and Serving:
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
- Allow the fruit medley to cool for a few minutes. Serve it warm for a comforting snack, or let it cool completely for a refreshing treat.
