Friend says put cut fruit into water with lemon juice. Thinking banana, apple mostly. How much lemon to how much water please.

Put those fruits into the bowl first and squeeze over the juice of a lemon and then give it a shake to coat everything.Add your other fruits.If they are quite sweet, you won't need to add any sugar but if its still a bit tart add some icing sugar, teaspoon by teaspoon.
Make it as close as possible to eating time - it still does go slightly brown by the next day.

The easiest thing to do is use a tin of fruit in syrup or juice. Any juice will do. Or you can add orange juice instead of lemon juice.

Thanks gardie - the icing sugar doesn't make it cloudy?

Thank you gaspodetwd too. Appreciate the help. Merry Xmas to such helpful people. (I made the mistake of asking a question in Real Estate!)

No - it dissolves and you don't even know its in there.

I'm planning to add a wee bit of chopped up preserved ginger and also a bit of chopped up mint. I've done it before and it gives it a nice sharp flavour.

Off to sit outside N/W now - after I check bank balance :-)

I use a squeeze of lemon juice or, to vary it a bit, some lime juice (the lime in the wee squeezy bottle is fine) - and a small amount of sugar only if needed. The citrus juice tends to perk up the flavour of the fruits, as well,without being overpowering.

You can add a bit of passionfruit pulp (from a jar) to make it a bit sweeter too. Adds a nice flavour.
