Directions

  1. Break grapefruit and tangerines into sections.
  2. Cut grapefruit sections into thirds; cut tangerine sections in half.
  3. Transfer grapefruit, tangerines, and all juices to deep serving bowl. Using small sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from oranges. Slice oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, then cut slices into quarters.
  4. Add oranges and all juices to same bowl.
  5. Mix in 1/2 cup dried cranberries, honey, and cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

  7. Spoon yogurt atop fruit.
  8. Sprinkle with brown sugar and dried cranberries.
  9. Greek yogurt, which is actually drained yogurt, has a luxurious texture similar to that of sour cream. Look for it at Greek markets, Trader Joe's, and Whole Foods. Or simply spoon 1 quart plain yogurt into a colander lined with cheesecloth.
  10. Place the colander in a large bowl and let the yogurt drain in the refrigerator overnight.
