Goombay Fruit Salad recipe
Ingredients:
* 1 cantaloupe
* 3 bananas
* freshly squeezed juice of 1 lime
* 2 tangerines
* 1 papaya
* 2 mangoes
* 1½ oz. sugar
* 1 Tbsp. Ole N***au Pineapple Rum
* 12 oz. strawberries
* 8 pitted cherries
Method:
Slash the cantaloupe down the section lines, but do not cut as far as the base. Carefully open like a flower and scoop out the seeds and some of the flesh. Drain off the juice and preserve in a small bowl. Chill the cantaloupe and juice for 1-hour.
Peel the bananas, slice and dip into the lime juice. Peel the tangerines, cut into segments and remove the seeds. Cut the papaya in half, remove the seeds and dice the flesh. Peel the mangoes; cut the flesh off the seeds and slice, preserving the juice.
Strain the melon juice; mix with the sugar, adding the rum and blending well. Set a few strawberries aside for decoration. Mix all of the fruits together with the juices and chill.
Just before serving, fill the cantaloupe with some of the fruit salad, place onto a serving platter and arrange the remaining fruit around the base decorating with the strawberries.
Variation:
Serve salad in half pineapple after removing pulp.
