Fighting cravings during pregnancy can make it difficult to choose healthy foods over sugar laced alternatives. In the middle of the fall or winter, it is simple to cater to that sweet tooth with a bit of summer fruit delight.

INGREDIENTS

1 whole pineapple, peeled, cored and chopped
1 pear, cored and chopped
1 banana, peeled and chopped
1 red grapefruit, skinned, seeded and chopped
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 orange, peeled, seeded and chopped
3 tb jam, strawberry

DIRECTIONS

1. Place all of the ingredients in a bowl and toss well to coat fruit with strawberry jam.
2. The pink grapefruit and oranges should keep the banana and pear from turning colors.
