Fruit Plate With Marshmallow Sauce

Debbwl's Note:

This fresh fruit plate was a big hit at breakfast. On a large fig leaf a wedge of peeled watermelon with a slice of coconut on top is placed as the base of the composition. Next, slices of other large fruits- pineapple, peeled cantaloupe, banana, plum, orange, pear, red skinned apple-are arranged in interestin balance of colors and shapes. Small fruits-raspberries, halved strawberries, figs, green and purple grapes-fill in the spaces. Two slices of Nut bread are tucked in at the upper edge. A large Vanda orchid is the finishing touch with Marshmallow Sauce on the side. Preparation time is to includes fixing fruit plates.

I have made this recipe for years. So good it's hard not to eat with a spoon. Great with fruit.
