Notes
This really is a recipe which is incredibly flexible. If you will have a larger gathering, simply use more fruit and adjust the amount of cinnamon and orange blossom water accordingly.
If you prefer, you can use different types of citrus fruit. We love the colour and flavour we get from the blood oranges however.
We tend to present this on a large platter, and therefore do not have several layers of fruit. If you use a smaller platter, simply create more layers of fruit.
