How To Make Mary Berry Fruit Salad

1. Prepare the melon: Cut the melon in half, scoop it out, and discard the seeds. Cut each half into four, remove the rind, and cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces.
2. Prepare the mangoes: Peel the mangoes and slice off the cheeks from the large central stone. Cut the mango into cubes and trim around the stone.
3. Prepare the orange: Slice off the top and bottom of the orange. Cut away the peel and pith, then cut between the segments to remove each piece.
4. Prepare the papaya: Peel the papaya and cut it in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds, then cut the fruit into pieces.
5. Prepare the passion fruit: Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out the seeds.
6. Combine the fruit: Place all the fruit, except the raspberries, in a bowl. Cover with cling film and chill in the fridge, mixing occasionally.
7. Serve: Just before serving, add the fresh raspberries. Serve with chilled crème fraîche if desired.

Recipe Tips

• Use ripe fruit: Ensure all fruits are fully ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. Check the melons and mangoes for slight softness when gently pressed.
• Chill the fruit: For a refreshing taste, chill the cut fruit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
• Handle with care: Cut the fruit into uniform pieces to ensure even texture and easy eating.
• Add fruit last: Mix the raspberries in just before serving to prevent them from getting mushy.
• Use fresh passion fruit: Ensure the passion fruit is ripe and juicy for the best taste and texture.

What To Serve With Fruit Salad?

This refreshing fruit salad pairs well with chilled crème fraîche, Greek yogurt, a light granola, or a handful of nuts. It also can be served alongside a slice of lemon pound cake, vanilla ice cream, or fresh mint tea for a delicious breakfast or light dessert.

How To Store Leftovers Fruit Salad?

• Refrigerate: Store any leftover fruit salad in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 2 days. Make sure the salad is covered to prevent it from absorbing other fridge odors.
• Freeze: Freezing is not recommended for this fruit salad as the texture of the fruit can become mushy once thawed. The salad is best enjoyed fresh.
