We modified this a bit by adding dried cranberries and blueberries to the other dried fruit while stewing. Then we mixed the whole batch into a regular fruit salad (canned chunky fruit in natural juices plus fresh apples, oranges, & bananas). It was easy, fabulous and delicious, and even the little kids loved it; for the first time in 10 years people came back for seconds on the fruit salad at Thanksgiving!

I asked my sister to fix this for our Thanksgiving dinner. I enjoyed the mixture of the fresh and dry fruit. It might be nice to add some dried cranberries for a little touch of tart.

I really enjoyed this salad. I like the combo of flavors, and how easy it was to make. I added some dried cranberries (and forgot to add pecans when taking the pic---but did add them before serving) and used a combo of blood orange and navel orange. I also only used about 3 tbsps of orange juice in the syrup. The one issue I had was that adding the marmalade to the cool syrup didn't work so well. The marmalade congealed, and didn't want to mix in--even after warming it up. So I strained that out, and would probably leave out the marmalade entirely as the syrup tasted fine without it. I would simply add some orange zest instead next time. I also sliced my apples, oranges, and bananas, then placed the dried fruits on top; and drizzled everything with the syrup. It was delicious! It's going to taste great with some Greek yogurt for breakfast tomorrow! Thank you for the recipe!
Very tasty! I used it as a side dish with a pork roast and it was wonderful. The only thing that I did differently was, I did add a few dried pears that I had left over from a Christmas Swiss bread recipe, which complemented the rest of the fruit. Will definitely make again.
