3 cups mixed diced or sliced fresh fruit
3/4 cup sugar
4 cups water
4 slices ginger, fresh (each 1/4 inch thick), flattened with a cleaver
3 strips lemon zest (each 2 x 1/2 inches removed with a vegetable peeler)
2 cinnamon sticks (each 3 inches)
2 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted

Steps:

1. Toss the fruit with 1/4 cup of the sugar in a serving bowl and let stand for 15 minutes.2. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the water, ginger slices, lemon zest, and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until well flavored and lightly syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool completely.3. Strain the syrup over the fruit and stir gently to mix. Sprinkle the pine nuts on top and serve immediately. I like to serve the punch in glass bowls or brandy snifters. It's perfectly acceptable to raise the bowl to your lips to sip the syrup.Serves 6
