Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Cut the pineapple into 1-inch slices. Pare each slice and use a strong fork to twist off the flesh in pieces, discarding the core and skin.
-
Step 2.
Pare the oranges and grapefruit, removing all peel and white pith. Separate into sections, carefully removing the membrane between each segment.
-
Step 3.
In a large bowl, combine the pineapple pieces, orange sections, and grapefruit sections. Sprinkle with 1 cup sugar and the juice of 1 lemon. Toss gently to coat.
-
Step 4.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for several hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Step 5.
Just before serving, stir in the grated coconut. Serve chilled as a side dish or light dessert.
