Some tips for making a great fruit salad:
lUse any type of fruit you like.
l Make sure the fruit is ripe, but not overripe because overripe fruit will not hold up well when mixed.
lTry to buy local fruit that is in season when- ever possible. Nothing beats it.
l Choose fruit with a variety of colours to make the salad look its best.
l Mix textures .
lSqueeze in the juice of a couple of lemons or limes. This will help keep the fruit from turning brown.
lA tablespoon or two of cognac is a great addition!
lLetting the fruit salad sit for a few hours will greatly enhance the flavour, especially if you have put in some Cognac.(It's a good idea to leave it in the refrigerator).
lIf you do add sugar, add less than you think you will need. The fruit salad will become a lot sweeter as it sits a while.
