Remove melon from rind and dice. Cut pineapple into chunks. Peel and section oranges, removing all the white membrane, snip into chunks with kitchen shears. Toss fruit together. If fruit is nice and ripe, the natural juices will provide plenty of sweetness, so no sugar will be needed. Dice the apple or pear and if using berries, wash and hull them. Add to fruit mixture. Just before serving, peel, slice and add banana. Mix well. Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #187 by Julie Bertholf on Jul 19, 1997
