FRUIT AND SUNSHINE RICE

"Sun-dried raisins and fresh fruit brighten up spiced basmati rice. This side dish adds colorful crunch to poultry, pork or fish. Makes a great cold salad all on its own, too."

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, minced
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup diced fresh peaches
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
2 kiwifruits, peeled and diced 1/2 inch
2 cups hot, cooked basmati rice
1/4 cup toasted chopped cashews, optional
1/2 cup Sun-Maid Natural Raisins

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan and cook onion until just clear.

Add chicken bouillon and spices, stirring and cooking for 1 minute.

Add sugar, peaches, pineapple and kiwi. Cook just until mixture is warmed through.

Fold in rice until blended.

Top with cashews and raisins. Serve hot as a side dish or cold as a salad.
