Fresh Fruit Salad
1 medium sized seedless watermelon
1 medium sized cantaloupe
1 honeydew melon
1 lb. green grapes (red and purple too if desired)
1 to 2 cans orange slices, drained (or fresh)
1 can pineapple chunks, drained (or fresh)
fresh strawberries or blueberries (optional)
Cut about 1/4 off top of watermelon. Cut back to the white and get all the red out to mix with other fruit. You can use a melon baller, teaspoon measuring spoon, or easiest of all just cube up all the melon. Mix fruit carefully, and heap into trifle bowl . Soft fruits like berries may be added at the last, but tend to get crushed. Fresh Oranges and Pineapple are better than canned, however they are optional. Just 3 melons, and grapes are great, as you have a good variety of color and flavors.
Optional Dressing
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. fruit juice
1/4 c. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
Cook sauce until thickened; it will stay thin. Chill. Pour over fruit in watermelon boat or mix in large bowl and chill.
