Autumn Pear Salsa

1 grapefruit
2 pears
1/2 cup chopped cherries
2 tablespoons chopped red onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic clove, crushed
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped (see note)
1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
2 tablespoons lime juice

1. Working over a mixing bowl, peel grapefruit, removing all white pith. Carefully section then cut each section into thirds. Place in the bowl with any accumulated juices.
2. Peel and core pears then dice. Add to the grapefruit with chopped cherries, finely chopped red onion, crushed garlic clove, chopped jalapeno, grated lime peel, and lime juice; toss well.
3. Serve with meat or casserole dishes.

Makes about 3 cups.

Cook's Note: Because hot peppers contain oils that can burn your eyes, lips and skin, protect yourself when working working with peppers by covering one or both hands with plastic gloves or bags. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes or face.
