I like living in a land where lemons and oranges grow, I never cease to find that exotic and exclusive even though I suppose it' is no stranger than apple trees, cloudberries and all the other things growing in my native country but not only are orange trees exotic to me, I find them very pretty to look at too, the orange dots among that fresh shade of green make me feel good. Right now we are wading through oranges, they are sold everywhere, I see small baby trucks selling them by the crate when I am out driving and I am always ready to eat an orange or clementine myself but sometimes it is nice to actually do something with them so I make things like this, I slice different fruits and drench them in any kind of syrup I feel like at that precise moment.

FRUIT SLICES DRENCHED IN CITRUS AND HONEY SYRUP FLAVOURED WITH STAR ANISE AND CINNAMON
2 servings
1 sweet orange
1 apple
1 banana
2 tblsp pinenuts
the juice of 2 clementines
the juice of 1 pink grapefruit
1-3 tblsp honey
3 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
- Reduce the clementine and pink grapefruit juice to half on medium heat with the cinnamon and star anise. Add honey and cool it down.
- Slice the fruit thinly and put them in layers in tow bowls or in wide glasses.
- Poor the syrup over the fruit and then let it stand for a while to marinate before serving.
