Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Supreme the oranges by cutting away the skin and pith and segmenting the oranges using a very sharp paring knife.  Transfer to a bowl and squeeze the discarded membranes over the bowl to release any remaining juices.
  2. Add the pineapple, kiwis and mangoes to the orange segments and toss.  Add the rum and taste the fruit.  If it's needs a little more sweetness add honey or sugar one tablespoon at a time (tasting as you go to make sure you don't add too much). Toss to coat the fruit.  Cover and refrigerate for an hour to macerate.
  3. Spoon fruit into a bowl and serve for a light dessert on its own or with wafer cookies or spooned over sponge cake.
