Notes

- How to Slice Citrus
- Take note that as written in the vintage magazine, this fruit salad might seem a bit "boring." I recommend making a batch of vanilla custard, or perhaps sweetened whipped cream, and layering that in with the fruit for a creamier, yummier dessert. I present it here as written in the magazine, but please feel free to get creative with it.
