Hi,
Thanks for all the tips.
What I finally made was a mixture of fresh and canned fruit, because a lot of fruit at the store was under ripe.
The night before:
Fresh fruit:
- Segmented navel oranges
- Halved red grapes
Canned fruit, drained:
- Pear halves, which was sliced into smaller segments
- Peach slices, which was sliced in half on a bias
- Pineapple chunks, which was sliced in half to niblet size
The morning of:
- Sliced strawberries, which were lightly macerated with sugar and added some vanilla.
- Blueberries
I had thought to reduce the peach juice, then decided to do nothing.
Mixed everything together.
I decided to skip banana, because its fine fresh, but not so much when sitting around. I contemplated adding apple, though it was already in a cake.
I intentionally avoided grapefruit, since it causes problems with some medications.
People seemed to like it. Leftovers were quite fine.
Regards,
Cathy2
