Ingredients:
1/2 watermelon seeds removed/seedless and diced

1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups seedless red grapes
1 pineapple, peeled, cored and diced
1 papaya seeds removed and diced

 

Directions
In a large bowl, combine watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, pineapple, and papaya. For a more elegant presentation, all melons (cantaloupe) can be cut into balls using a Melon Ballers, and the rest of the fruit can be arranged on a platter instead of in a bowl. It does not need extra juices, the juices come from with in the fruit.

TIPS:
To make sure fruits are ripe and sweet you need to make sure that the watermelon is hollow, (you knock on the watermelon if it sound hollow then it is ready). The cantaloupes is yellow and like an avocado make sure it is soft on both ends. The strawberries need to be extremely red. Grapes need to be very sweet as well. Pineapple should be very yellow. The Papaya should be very orangey-red.
