Spumante Fruit Salad
dessert, fruit, wine
1/2 Canteloupe
8 ounce Grapes; peeled
4 sl Pineapple; diced
1/3 cup Caster sugar; superfine
2 Peaches; peeled, pitted; and
2 tablespoon Rum
cubed
1/4 cup Cognac
3 ounce Strawberries; hulled
1/2 Bottle sweet spumante
3 ounce Blueberries; trimmed
( Macedonia di Frutta allo Spumante ) Remove rind, seeds and center filaments from the melon; scoop the flesh into balls with a melon baller. Put all the fruits into a bowl and add the sugar, rum and cognac. Pour the spumante over. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Note: Take care in purchasing the Spumante not to get a bottle that is too dry. Moscato is your best choice, as it tends to run from slightly sweet to very sweet...and for dessert, you will want it to be sweet.
