This tasted nasty to me. I'm not sure why. My only suggestion to anyone who is going to try it is this: Toss just a little of the fruit with the glaze until you try it. Better to throw out a little fruit than all of it - it's just to expensive to waste. My friend Herkimer has some but hasn't tried it yet - I'll update my thoughts if need be. As it stands right now - I won't be fixing it again.

this is a very light tasting refreshing salad. the sauce was a little runny for my liking, next time i will use more cornstarch or less water. i also added a little more lemon juice because i like it lemony and it is very faint lemony flavor otherwise. but very good flavor and i will most likely try it again. thanks.

I used cantaloupe, kiwi, blueberries, bananas and maraschino cherries. I found the sauce to be rather refreshing on the fruit. But, those in the family who aren't crazy about lemon didn't care for it (even though I didn't tell them it was a lemon sauce). The only fruit I didn't think it complimented was the cantaloupe so I would probably use peaches if I made it again.

I am a full time stay-at-home mom of two kids, a girl who's 8 and a very busy 5 yr old son, who has just started Kindergarden and loving it.As am I, I'm starting to sense what freedom from the SAHM life is!!! I have been married to my wonderful husband for ten years. I enjoy scrapbooking, reading, camping, doing various crafts and spending time with my family. I completed my Doula training in fall of 2004 and had the opportunity to attend a few other births. I really enjoy attending births and assisting women during this amazing time.I have expanded on my doula work by working privately for a family post-partum, 2 days a week. This keeps me busy, but I know that this is not my forever job. However now that my kids are both in school, I have started to think about "what I want to be when I grow up!!"
