Instructions: Also called Macedonia di frutta fresca.

Note 1: Should be 6 Cups total of mixed fruits such as apples, pears, kiwis, bananas, grapes, tangerines and oranges Note 2: Or 2 Tbsp maraschino or orange liqueur or dry white vermouth.

Aside from whole fruits, the most ubiquitous Italian dessert is the macedonia, a combination of cut fresh or dried fruits served as a salad.

Dressed with sugar, or better yet jam or marmalade, and a splash of liqueur, wine or fruit juice, it is the best way to use up fruits that are not visually perfect.

Place fruits in a large serving bowl. In a small bowl, stir together marmalade and liqueur, vermouth or orange juice; gently stir into the fruits. Cover and refrigerate for 1 - 3 hrs before serving.

Serves 6
