Sweet Fruit Salad













Ingredients:
Lemon
Honey
Lime (optional)
Brown sugar (optional)
Pineapple
Strawberries
Blueberries
Grapes
(whatever you like, I kept it to things that wouldn't brown because I wanted it to keep in the fridge for several days.  Also great with banana and apple if eating the same or next day)

Directions:
Stir up the lemon juice with honey and a little brow sugar (best if you can heat it on the stove together to really mix well but don't get too thick).  Also grate some of the lemon peel into sauce, its very good for you!  Throw fruit into a bowl and drizzle sauce (if heated let it cool) over the fruit and stir it up.  The lemon helps keep everything very fresh.  Let sit in fridge for about 2 hours before serving.

If you wanted, after it all soaks put on of each fruit on toothpick for cute appetizer.
