2/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

grated zest from 1 orange

grated zest from 1 lemon

1 cinnamon star anise

1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

For the Fruit Salad:

2 cups cubed fresh pineapple (about 1/2 of a large pineapple)

2 medium mangoes peeled, pith removed and chopped

4 medium kiwifruit, peeled and chopped

2 cups chopped fresh strawberries

2 cups blueberries

2 cups raspberries or blackberries

Cut your pineapple and mangoes into small cubes.

Peel and slice your kiwi as shown, and cut the strawberries into halves.

In a medium saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest and honey.

Add star anise and place over medium heat.

Bring your mixture to a low boil.

Once the mixture starts to bubble reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 5 minutes, until thickened a bit.

Once done, discard the star anise and place your mixture into a bowl.

Let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Stir in yogurt and whisk well, until smooth and well combined.

In a glass bowl or trifle dish add pineapple and then blueberries.
