Recipe Notes

Cook's tip: If some of the fresh fruits are not in season, use fruits canned in juice, such as pineapple chunks, peach slices or apricots to make up a good variety.

Variation: The variations to this are only limited by your imagination,  cherries, grapes, mangoes, orange segments, peaches, raspberries, strawberries and dried fruits, such as figs, raisins and sultanas, are all suitable.
