   2      tablespoons   arrowroot powder
   2      tablespoons   water
   2      cans          fruit, juice of -- (15 ounce) your
                        choice
                        water -- as needed
   1/8    cup           raw honey
                        fruit -- from above
   4      cups          fresh fruit -- * see note

* Go for at least 6 different fruits:
strawberries, kiwis, apples, grapes, peaches, pears, melon, tangerines,
oranges, blueberries, cherries, or pineapple.

In a medium saucepan mix the arrowroot powder and water until well blended.
Measure the juice from the cans of fruit, add enough water to make 2 cups.
Add the juice and water mixture and honey to the saucepan. Boil until the
mixture is clear. Let cool. Meanwhile, put the canned fruits in a large
serving bowl. Cut up the fresh fruit into the serving bowl. Pour the cooled
syrup over the mixed fruit. Chill for several hours before serving.

TIP: If you have no access to fresh fruit, 4 additional 15 ounce drained
cans of fruit may be used in place of the fresh fruit.
