Ingredients

100 gm Tropical Wholefoods Sun Dried FAIRTRADE Mango
150 gm Tropical Wholefoods Sun Dried Pineapple
Tropical Wholefoods Sun Dried Star Fruits
6 lychees
2 FAIRTRADE bananas
250 gm fresh raspberries
140 ml FAIRTRADE Orange Juice
30 ml Kirsch or Grand Marnier
15 gm Roasted coconut flakes
FAIRTRADE Sources
Dried fruit
Bananas, apples
Fruit Juice

Method

Soak the Sun Dried Mango, Pineapple and Star Fruit in warm water for 20 minutes.
Puree the reconstituted fruit in a food processor. Then add all the fresh fruit to this, taking care to mix gently so as to minimise damage of the fruits.
Combine together the orange (or other fruit) juice, Kirsch and spices and pour over the mixed fruit.
Cover and refridgerate for one to two hours, allowing the flavours to mingle. Sprinkle with the roasted coconut flakes.

To serve

Serve with fresh cream. Open a bottle of FAIRTRADE white wine as well (or a red). Relax. Put some nice music on the hi-fi. Be grateful for small mercies and the luxury of a western lifestyle.

Variation

You could perhaps try FAIRTRADE grapes as well if you can find them.
