Melon Fruit Salad with a Pineapple or Orange Glaze

What do we live for?

Is it not for making life less difficult for one another?

We had some friends over just for a bit of a spontaneous visit and I served up a fruit salad instead of baking something and heating up the house.
I got this recipe from my cousin Kathy that lives in Ontario, about 25 years ago for sure. It is still a good one Kathy. Have you made it lately?

Start with:

watermelon

cantaloupe

honey dew

blueberries

or a combination of your favorite seasonal fruit

Glaze:

2 eggs

1/2 cup sugar (or splenda, or liquid honey)

1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice

2/3 cup pineapple juice or orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Combine ingredients in a small pot. Whisk on low heat until thick. Cool and pour over fruit.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups and the recipe can be easily halved.

Add over each individual serving just before you plan to eat it, other wise it gets very soupy, and not glazed.

Serve in backyard on a warm summer day sprinkled with lots of love.

May I suggest using honey (half the amount but that is personal taste) over sugar since it is a source of vitamin B, and freshly squeezed orange juice to reduce that amount of added sugar from a concentrate orange juice.

(I really should have taken a photo of this but I mixed the glaze with 2 cups of whipped cream and layered it in a trifle, layered with Angel food cake, fresh fruit and the whipped creamed with the glaze folded in. If you like you may add a splash of your favorite liquer.)
