Sort of a sweet side dish......

Rainbow Fruit Salad (Regenbogen-Fruchtsalat)

5 oz. white grapes
5 oz. black grapes
9 oz. plums
2 small aromatic apples
2 small aromatic pears
4 Tbsp cranberry jam
4 oz. dry sherry
2 oz. chopped walnuts

Wash fruit, cut grapes and plums in halves and remove pits and kernels. Cut
plums into wedges. Peel apples and pears, half, core and cut halves
lengthwise into slices. Combine fruits in large bowl. Strain cranberry jam
through a sieve and stir in sherry. Add to fruit and marinade for approx.
30 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving.

Note: Recipe says it serves four. But with those measurements, I think I
could eat it alone....If you want to try it, up the ingredients. Sounds
good. I found it in a German cookbook Called "His Tradition Lives
On.......Sweet Temptations of a la Ludwig II" (this was crazy Ludwig of
Barvaria)....he may have been nuts but his recipe collection seems pretty
good.
