Ingredients

In a quart saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the sugar, water and ginger to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil until mixture reaches light syrup consistency, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, peel and slice kiwi fruit. With a knife, peel and section oranges. In a dessert dish, gently fold sliced kiwi fruit, orange sections and ginger syrup until well-mixed. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well-chilled.
