"This is a beautiful, tasty, and healthy sweet that is ideal to give as a gift to a hostess or bring to a potluck. To serve, just pour into a large bowl, stir, and voilà! Feel free to change fruit combination and order. So they keep more of their colour, I place bananas at the bottom of the jar to make sure they are fully covered with liquid."
