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!

PINEAPPLE-PAPAYA SLAW
This is no ordinary coleslaw! Bursting with flavor from fresh fruit, cilantro and red bell pepper, it just may become your new picnic mainstay. For easier preparation, buy packaged shredded cabbage. If you can't find papaya, substitute mango. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple, papaya, and mango: Using ripe fruits ensures the best flavor and texture in your squares.
- Cut the fruits into even-sized squares: This helps them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make clean cuts and prevent the fruits from tearing.
- Do not overcook the fruits: Overcooked fruits will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Use a light-colored baking dish: A light-colored baking dish will help reflect the heat and prevent the fruits from browning too much.
- Serve the squares warm or at room temperature: Pineapple, papaya, and mango squares can be served warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or side dish.
Conclusion:
Pineapple, papaya, and mango squares are a delicious and healthy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
