hi trish, use whatever white wine you like (or have on hand). i got the recipe from an amici di don bosco recipe book and in their version they add sugar syrup to the wine and strawberries and chill it overnight so the flavors marry ;)

Love fresh fruit salads and if I do include bananas I usually put it in at the last minute just before serving.At the moment,here in Australia,bananas are still a luxury at $14.00/kg.

This is one of the very few desserts my sugarholic family doesn’t enjoy. As my dad says, “Fresh fruit isn’t dessert; it’s salad!” ;-)

Squeeze a generous amount of lemon or orange juice over your bananas, and make sure that the bananas are completely covered in the citrus juice. The acid in the juice will prevent oxidation, making your bananas stay nice and yellow for much longer.

Renee, I love your strawberries and sweet wine idea. What wine do you use? Marketman, I am so with you on the yuck-factor from the banana! I think the addition of papaya also increases the yuck-factor because of its “baby vomit” smell. Why does papaya smell that way??? [P.S. Feel free to delete my comment if you find it too gross for your readers. Sorry in advance in case I offend anyone! ;-)]

those fruits look luscious! I prefer fresh fruits to canned fruits- while cooking tea (dinner) I cut up apples (pink lady is my favourite) and serve it to my son before eating dinner- also fresh carrots cut julliene style dipped in some mayonnaise concoctions.

Dicing the fruits smaller means you get a variety of flavors and textures in one spoonful
