Directions
- Step 1
Peel grapefruit and oranges. Carefully cut them into segments, place in a bowl & reserve any juice from this process.
- Step 2
Pour the reserved juice into a small saucepan. Add the honey, cardamom, cloves and salt.
- Step 3
Heat the honey mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Step 4
After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let the honey mixture cool to room temperature.
- Step 5
Dish the fruit segments into serving bowls and pour the honey mixture over them.
- Step 6
Chill the bowls in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving. Even longer in the refrigerator is better!
- Step 7
While the bowls are cooling, lightly toast the chopped pistachios in a dry pan over medium heat until they just begin to become fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the pistachios to a bowl to prevent further cooking.
- Step 8
Top the dishes with toasted pistachios just before serving and enjoy!
