Steps:
- For filling: Combine chopped pineapple, mango, papaya, brown sugar, orange juice, cinnamon stick, orange peel, lemon peel and ground cloves in heavy medium saucepan. Cook over low heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, stirring frequently, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove cinnamon stick. Cool.
- For crust: Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, vanilla extract and salt in large bowl just until blended. On low speed, gradually add flour, beating just until dough begins to come together. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Gather dough into ball; divide into 2 pieces, 1 slightly larger than the other. Flatten each piece into square. Wrap each in plastic; chill 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F Roll out larger dough piece on lightly floured work surface to 10-inch square. Transfer dough to 9-inch square metal baking pan. Press dough onto bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of pan. Pour filling into crust. Roll out remaining dough piece on floured surface to 9-inch square. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Place 4 strips atop filling, spacing evenly. Place 5 more strips diagonally atop first 4 strips, forming lattice. Trim lattice edges.
- Bake until crust is golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cool completely. Cut into 9 squares. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store in single layer in airtight container at room temperature.).

PINEAPPLE, PAPAYA & MANGO SALSA
Obviously sweet because of the fruit but a slight hint of heat because of the pepper. We love this on grilled ahi, steamed uhu or aweoweo. I worked out this recipe after several failed attempts. We are blessed to live in Hawaii where fresh-off-the-tree fruit and great pineapples are easy to find, but try it anyway. As a variation, skip the pineapple and use chopped, seeded cucumber. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use ripe pineapple, mango, and papaya for the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh fruit, you can use frozen or canned fruit. Just be sure to drain the canned fruit well before using.
- You can use any type of sweetener you like in this recipe. I used honey, but you could also use sugar, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
- If you don't have coconut oil, you can use another type of oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
- Be sure to line your baking pan with parchment paper so the squares don't stick.
- Bake the squares until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help them hold their shape.
Conclusion:
These pineapple, mango, and papaya squares are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can use different fruits, different sweeteners, and different types of oil. You can also add nuts, seeds, or other mix-ins to the batter. The possibilities are endless! So get creative and enjoy!
