Notes
Use ripe but firm fruits to avoid mushiness. Chill fruits before assembly and keep the finished tray refrigerated until serving. Prepare and assemble within an hour of serving for best freshness. Frozen fruits can be used if fresh are unavailable, but thaw and drain well. Optional honey drizzle adds sweetness. Substitute fruits seasonally or for allergies as needed.
