Any Season Fruit Bowl

• 2 cups water
• 1 -1 12 cup sugar
• 13 cup lime juice or 13 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon anise extract
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 3 oranges, peeled and sectioned
• 3 kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced
• 2 grapefruits, peeled and sectioned
• 2 large apples, cubed
• 1 pint strawberry, sliced
• 1 lb green grape
• 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, lime juice, anise and salt.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cook for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
3. Remove from heat; cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
4. Combine fruit in a large bowl (I use a trifle bowl).
5. Add dressing and toss to coat.
6. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour (Actually it is much, much better if you make it at least one day ahead as the flavors mellow).
