Fruit Salad

Ingredients Method

1 papaya, ripe but firm The main idea is to use at least 6 kinds of fruit. The
quantity you use does not matter. The usual base
fruit is papaya. Don't add anything except fruits!
1 melon, ripe, luscious flavour Halve the recipe if you like, and remember that
leftovers are great for breakfast!
3-4 bananas, firm lychees are delicious in fruit salad

Hard fruits like apple are not really suitable.
6-8 flat peach halves, roughly cut Grapes can be added, or any other soft fruits. If
up granadillas/passion fruit are unobtainable, leave
out, but they do lend an exotic flavour. We also use
ripe guavas chopped.
5 lychees skin and seed removed Peel and chop the fresh fruits, but not into small
pieces: they should be roughly a small bite each. If
7 cherries seed removed you added slightly sour fruits (like fresh pineapple)
you will have to add some sugar.
In a large bowl gently mix the fruits.
6 apricots, fresh, ripe, in quarters
Here you have to eyeball the fruit salad and guess
how much juice you want to add. Let's say you
5 kiwi fruits, peeled and quartered decide on 1 1/2 cups. Add the vanilla to the juice.

I'm mentioning "juice" because there are fantastic
1-2 granadilla / passion fruit pulp pure fruit juices available, which can be used
instead of the syrup from cans.

2-3 teaspoons vanilla Beware fruits like blueberries, which will stain the
entire salad.
I didn't mention oranges: unless very carefully
Sugar cleaned and every scrap of white pith removed,
they will eventually lend a bitter taste to the fruit
salad. Berries like strawberries can be used, but
tend to go soft.

The salad usually stands a few hours or overnight
before serving. And no, it will not last forever
because the soft fruits might go mushy and
discolour.
