Fruit Salad Help

HopeElizzy

:hello:
I'm just curious to know which fruit you put in and what juice you pour over it?

Is it traditional like bananas, apples, pears, grapes and oranges or do you use other fruits? I usually use a tin of satsumas and use the juice, with sugar dissolved in it and water added to make the juice to pour over it - is that what you do?
Also cream or ice cream or just plain?

I'd like to know because my FIL is over tomorrow and loves fruit salad so I was going to make one...... but wanted to try something a bit different.

(Edit: sorry if this thread already exists somewhere but had a look around and couldn't find anything)

I definitely don't include apples or oranges; I go for pineapple, melon, mangoes and stuff like that. Fresh or tinned, doesn't matter to me. I use cartons of cherry or apricot juice or peach nectar. With fresh cream.

At our barbecue a couple of weeks back we had a lovely fruit salad with fresh pineapple, kiwi fruits, strawberries and melon. Twas the bees knees.

Had it with lovely vanilla ice cream or strawberry yoghurt on top.

Yum yum. Need to go and eat now....

My son won't eat apples, pears or oranges but when we do a fruit salad we use the following or most of. Some depends on season.

Raspberries
Strawberries
Peaches
Kiwis
Pineapple
Bananas
Grapes
Melon (various types)
Pomegranate

Does this work as well as juice to stop the fruit going brown - sounds like a really good idea.........?

For the liquid I use fresh juice, whatevers left over goes in the juicer. Sometimes orange juice which DS1 is ok with.

Serve with, hmm, usually on it's own but this is our 'posh weekend' breakfast.

I have used lemonade before but add extra lemon juice for the 'no brown here please'

Miss_Cinnabon

yeah the lemonade works really well, it is my fave:D

passion fruit adds a gorgeous flavour too.
