Ingredients:
1/2 C. fresh orange juice
1/4 C. fresh lemon juice
1/4 C. honey
1/2 tsp. orange zest
1/2 tsp. lemon zest
2 C. apples, chunked
1 C. seedless red grapes
2 bananas, sliced
2 oranges, fully peeled & sectioned
1 grapefruit, fully peeled & sectioned
2 c. ripe strawberries, sliced
3 kiwis, peeled & sliced
1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint (dried will NOT do here)
1 sprig mint, for garnish (optional)

Instructions: In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, honey, and zests. Mix well. Stir in mint.

Prepare fruit and layer into a glass trifle bowl in the order listed. (A glass serving bowl works fine, too.)

Pour juice mix over fruit.

Refrigerate several hours. Garnish with mint sprig before serving.

Note: If you don't like a strong mint flavor, I suggest leaving out the mint.
