This is a favourite for all our family celebrations.
My 13-year-old grandson, Sam, and I have found it necessary to double the recipe for this.
So not only is it our tradition, but we have renamed it “Sam’s Favourite Fruit Salad.”
Allow your grandson/granddaughter to lick the bowl, and let them always have seconds.
