Hardly a recipe, but this is how I make my fruit salad.
Various fresh, chopped fruit.
Fresh juice to cover, sometimes if it’s looking a little ‘heavy’ I use half juice and half diet lemonade.
A good splash of Malibu (entirely optional but gives it a definite lift!)
A little sugar, honey or agave nectar (again, optional) Best with Carnation evaporated milk. Humour me, I’m a child of the 70’s!

Anna I LOVE this kind of fruit salad! It's the exact same kind my Mum and Granny used to make. I love your suggestion of adding malibu, I'm definitely going to try that! 🙂

I usually eat fruit raw, but I am willing to give this one a try.

Some kind of fruity liqueur would be good. I've made it with peach schnapps too and that was nice! X

Oh Anna, so many things in Aus are carbon copies of that which went on in The Mother Country, but I don't remember ever seeing Carnation Evaporated Milk offered with fruit salad. Sweetened Condensed Milk used to make salad cream for sure, but I feel wronged the evaporated milk (love that you even specify the brand too:)) never showed it's face around a fruit salad. I adore the aroma of Malibu, it's also wonderful the way you need so little to liven up a dish:) I notice you have banana in your fruit salad – how does this work with leftovers please? Never been confident enough of bananas to trust them in fruit salad, I am missing out am I?

Coby, we never have leftovers of this fruit salad! But if I was planning on keeping it more than a few hours in the fridge, I'd probably leave the banana out. You must make it and try it with the Carnation milk (though admittedly, it was probably easier in the 70's to find tinned milk, than double cream, which is maybe how this tradition got started!)Xx

Love the addition of Malibu, but, I never add sugar or cream/evap milk. I like my fruit pure(ish), alcohol doesn't count, right?
