Steps:
- 1. Gently wash and pat dry your starfruit. Gaze at it for a while because its so beautiful :) Isn't it amazing that this even exists?? There is so much variety of fruit on this planet... Anyway...
- 2. Using a vegetable peeler, gently peel away browner edges of "stars". Cut off both ends. Set aside.
- 3. Into bowl, mix the strawberries, mangos and bananas. Give them a few squirts of lemon juice. Mix again.
- 4. Add nectarine, peach and pear. Mix in the preserves. Mix well to thoroughly incorporate the preserves...but also mix gently so you don't turn your fruit into a mashy mess.
- 5. Slice the the starfruit thin and arrange on serving plate. (Slice thin because it is tart for some, so a little goes a long way.) As you are slicing, the few seeds inside will be attached to the middle of the star. Remove and discard.
- 6. Scoop your fruit salad onto the starfruit bed. Top it with some more slices of starfruit, and chopped granola bar. Enjoy!
