    This is definitely not the fruit salad of my childhood! At least, I don't remember my mum soaking the fruit in rum. But then again, my mum grew up in Jamaica, the birth place of rum...and I was a really happy child who spent hours fashioning various types of wings and throwing myself off of high places in an attempt to fly. Hmm...Mum, you have some 'splainin to do!

    Could you make this salad without the rum? Sure. But unless you don't drink or are planning to serve this to children (with or without a Supergirl complex), then I say, "Bring on the rum!"

    Mojitos, the traditional Cuban cocktails, are usually made with white rum. However, either white or dark rum will do. I happened to use dark rum because that's what I had on hand and, as the daughter of a Jamaican, that's what I've been taught to love. Rum Punch with Ginger Beer & Pineapple Juice just isn't the same without dark rum!

    This salad takes mere minutes to put together, but be sure to plan for soaking time. It takes about an hour in the refrigerator for the rum to really soak into the fruit. When serving, be sure to drizzle some of the extra rum and lime liquid over top of each portion so that your guests can get the full effect.

        I've never soaked any kind of fruit (other than raisins) in rum or any alcohol. I so want to try now! And so cool that your mom grew up in Jamaica. 🙂
