Fruit Salad Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
• Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Prepare the fruit with a small serrated knife. Cut the top and bottom off the kiwi, stand it up on one of its flat surfaces and cut away the skin, keeping the knife as close to the skin as possible. Slice in half, following the core through the centre, then cut each half into slices. Put in a bowl and repeat with the other kiwi.
• Carefully cut the skin off the mango and slice off each cheek, running your knife as close to the stone as you can. Cut each piece into slices. Remove any remaining fruit from the stone in long thin slices. Add the mango to the kiwi.
• Top and tail the pineapple, then in a similar way to the kiwi, cut away the skin. Use your knife to go around the pineapple, taking out the divets or eyes, two to three at a time, you'll be left with a spiral pattern weaving around the outside of the fruit. Take of a circular slice, roughly 150g, quarter, remove the core then cut into chunks. Add to the bowl.
• Halve the grapes and add to the rest of the fruit along with the berries, you may want to slice or halve strawberries if they're large. Remove the peel from the orange using the same method as the kiwi and pineapple. Holding the orange over the bowl of fruit, remove the orange segments by carefully cutting between the membrane and the fruit. The pieces should fall out into the bowl along with any juice. Squeeze the membrane over the fruit to extract the juice, add a drizzle of honey, if you like. Mix everything together and leave in the fridge to macerate for 30 mins, if you have time.

Steps:

• Line a loaf pan with waxed paper. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Put lemon juice in a 1 cup glass measuring cup, add enough pineapple juice to make 1/2 cup.
• Put juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over the juice. Let sit 5 minutes to soften. Put on medium heat and stir constantly until gelatin is dissolved.
• In a medium bowl, place mayonnaise and cream cheese. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add pineapple, oranges, bananas, marshmallows, cherries, pecans and gelatin mixture. Mix well. Put in frig. until it is partially gelled about 1 hour. Stir frequently.
• Put heavy cream in a small chilled bowl. Beat until it peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into thickened fruit mixture.
• Spoon mixture into loaf pan. Pack well making sure there are no air holes. Cover with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm about 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, turn out onto a cutting board. Slice and plate. Let stand about 10 minutes before. You can substitute any fruit you wish.
