This is a super simple fruit salad that my husband's family had made for years for Christmas. Like many family favorites there is no real recipe and each person who makes it puts in different proportions, but I will try to create a recipe below. My FIL makes it by the bushelful each year. And our family has it for Christmas breakfast along with cinnamon rolls that my grandfather used to make.

Christmas Sunrise Citrus Salad

Serves 8

Mix the following in a bowl:

2 - grapefruits
4 - oranges (Florida juice are best)
4 - tangerines
4 - tangelos

Cut citrus fruit in half and cut out sections. Squeeze empty peels to get every drop of juice. Cover well--putting plastic wrap touching the fruit will help preserve more of the vitamin C. Chill overnight or a couple of hours.

4 - bananas sliced (add about 30 to 60 minutes before serving)

My hubby used to sprinkle sugar on his--we all eat it plain.

While preparing this there is a wonderful fragrance, though not like the aroma of something baking, it still smells like Christmas to me.

Congrats ~ Please post in this thread so I know you've seen this post then PM me your info so we can get these out in the mail to you!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks!! How fun....I can use my tote shopping and maybe people will ask me about HCW who I wouldn't normally tell about it. I always am telling cashiers and other shoppers about this great site. Thanks again!!
