Bits and Pieces Fruits and Nuts

This recipe is just a fruit salad made with bits and pieces of leftover fruit.  Ok, ok, not that the fruit is actually left over, but the salad contains fruit that is the last of something.  I had 6 strawberries left in the container, so I chopped those up and put them in the freezer.  I also had 2 slivers of an apple left from a fruit plate.  I chopped those up and added them to the salad.

In my "bits and pieces fruits and nuts" are:

1/2 a banana, sliced
6 strawberries, chopped
1/4 and apple, chopped
1/2 a canned pear (this I added from the can and will use the rest of it for another project)
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 chopped pecans
ground cloves
ground cinnamon
honey (about 1/4 cup)

Mix all the fruit and nuts in a bowl.  I have a bowl that holds about 2 cups, so I use it so that I can gauge how much fruit salad I have.  Sprinkle with cloves and cinnamon.  Drizzle with honey.  I used about 1/4 a cup.  Stir gently.

Divide the fruit salad equally between 3 - 4 (1/2 cup) airtight containers and store in the refrigerator.

Uses:

Add 1 container of fruit salad to oatmeal, yogurt or low-fat pudding..  One of my favorite recipes is to add 1/3 cup half/half to the fruit and simmer in a pan on the stove.  Stir often.  When heated through, sprinkle granola over it\
