Directions
Saladi Ya Matunda (African Tropical Fruit Salad), A delicious fruit salad which we enjoyed for supper as well as breakfast I made some minor changes (based on what was available in the local grocery and my fridge) to the original recipe printed in The Book Club Cookbook discussing Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver In the intro it states that a traditional African Fruit Salad, a variety of tropical fruits are chosen, making this very adaptable to whatever is available in the grocer or in the fridge , I made this recipe with canned pineapple, canned mangoes, fresh bananas & fresh oranges Instead of making the syrup with water & sugar used the juice from the mangoes & pineapple boiled with 1/2 cup of sugar I also substituted almonds for the roasted peanuts Overall, everyone thought this was a good fruit salad Thanks Ellie
