Spiced Pear and Pomegranate Salad



If you're looking for a fun new recipe to spice up your holiday meals, then this is the one for you!  Pomegranates, in addition to being delicious, always seem so festive, and are one of my favorite winter fruits.  This salad is super quick to throw together and always gets rave reviews.  The recipe is just a jump off point, as I always use more fruit than it calls for.  Also, if you want to save time and don't care as much for presentation, you can skip peeling the pears; it will still taste delicious.

3 pears, peeled and cut into slices
1 pomegranate, (skin and membrane removed)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Place the pears and pomegranate seeds (arils) in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice.  In a separate bowl combine the brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon, then stir into the fruit.  Cover and chill until ready to serve.
