This was a tasty and refreshing fruit salad. I used fresh mandarin segments, peaches, strawberries, cantaloupe and green grapes. Since I didn't have the syrup from the can, I used some simple syrup along with homemade mandarin marmalade. I chose the vanilla extract. My children really enjoyed it. Thank you Sharon! Made for the Dining Daredevils & ZWT 5.

This recipe was the "base" for what I created to go with our French Dinner for ZWT3. Made the sauce as called for, then had the m. oranges, kiwi, green grapes, and a mango. I wanted the sauce to be thick, so I took some of the reserved mand. o.j. and some cornstarch, heated all the sauce in a small pan, and thickened it a bit...poured it over the fruit (warm) and had sort of a little Sunshiny Fruit Salad Compote. We all thought this was quite delicious! *Made for ZWT 3 Caribbean Tour*

This recipe was my choice for the Australian leg of ZWT 3. This was really good and refreshing for a hot and humid evening. I liked the option to add the almond extract, gave it a unique twist compared to your average fruit salad. I love being able to serve my little one something that he enjoys and is healthy for him too! We'll have to make this again. Thanks!

I made this for ZWT 07 for the dessert challenge. It was a very refreshing tasting salad. I loved the orange marmalade dressing on top of it. Thanks for posting!

We loved this fruit salad! Next time I will need to double the recipe, very easy to put together! Used vanilla extract and chilled for a couple hours in the refrigerator. The orange flavor over the fruit, so good!

This "wowed" us! We loved it, I used red and green seedless grapes, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, mandarins and melons. Terrific!

This was lovely, I used vanilla extract because I prefer the flavour over almond and had mostly watermelon, apricots, strawberries with a few left over grapes. I also only had a cheapie shop ‘home brand” apricot jam to hand and once mixed it was quite thin and since this sat for a little while before the photo was taken most of the sauce was in a pool at the bottom for the serving dish when I dished dessert up later. (note to self: use a better quality jam next time) Despite this, the flavour was very nice indeed. I found it difficult to rate this because this recipe IS a cut above most “normal’ plain fruit salads.. But it didn’t quite have the WOW factor that I needed to give it 5 stars, So I really hovered between a 4 and 5 star rating. Please see my rating system: I eventually chose 4 stars because it IS good enough that I will make this regularly and the recipe has made it into my family handwritten cookbook… Thanks for an easy and refreshing, healthy dessert !
