Instructions
Honey Orange Sauce
- Combine the ingredients of the sauce in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer, making sure that the ingredients are combined well. Remove from the pan and cool completely. Alternatively, you can heat this in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval.
- Place the fruit in the trifle bowl in the order listed, starting with the watermelon. The fruit has been ordered so that the ones that stand up the best are on the bottom, and the fragile ones ( raspberries) are on the top! This is important for a fruit salad that holds up!
- Pour the cooled sauce over the top evenly, letting it soak through the layers.
- Cover and refrigerate the salad for a few hours.
- Serve with a large serving spoon.
