Ingredients

2 oranges
2 lemons
200 grams cherries
2 bananas
2 kiwi fruits
200 ml squirty cream
20 grams granulated sugar
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of cumin

Method

Peel and segment the oranges, capturing any juice for the finish, and place the segments in a serving bowl.
Peel and slice the bananas and kiwi fruits, and add them to the bowl with the oranges.
Halve the lemons, and in a small bowl, squeeze the juice and set it aside to use in the cherry compote.
In a saucepan, place the cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of cumin. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the cherries are soft and the sugar has completely dissolved.
Allow the cherry compote to cool slightly, then spoon it over the fruit salad in the serving bowl.
Top with a generous dollop of squirty cream, and drizzle the captured orange juice over the dish for added zest.

Tips

For a more intense flavor, allow the fruit salad to chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Consider serving the dessert in individual bowls for a more elegant presentation.
