Fantastic Fall Fruit Salad

So many people are bored or fruit salad, because only boring fruit ever gets added.  It's just sad.  This fruit salad is  so yummy!  plus it looks a bit fancier than the average fruit salad.  It's perfect for fall/ winter because of the colors and the spiciness.

You will need:
3 large Fuji apples
3 Asian pears
4 persimmons
seeds from one pomegranate
juice from 1 lemon
16 oz. walnut or pecan halves
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon allspice

Cut the fruit into bit sized pieces and put them in the bowl.  In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon.  Pour the sugar mixture over the fruit and toss well.
Melt the butter and mix it with the brown sugar and allspice.  Mix in nuts and coat well.  Spread the nuts on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 for 20 minutes.  Just before serving, toss the cooled nuts in with the fruit.  Enjoy!  Trust me, this tastes soooo good!
