Step 6 - ⌛ 10 min.
Peel 2 Pears, cut into quarters lengthways. Remover the core, then cut each quarter again into 2 lengthways.
As pears tend to turn brown rapidly, the trick is to cut them on the same chopping board as the grapefuit and coat the pieces with the juice left, using a brush.

Remarks
You can use other fruit, of course, but do try to keep a similar balance between tangy and sweeter, softer fruits.
Keeping: A few days in the fridge covered with plastic fim.
