This was very good, I made it for my DHs birthday party, and it went down very well, colourful and just that bit different. I made it the day before, as recommended, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. It was quickly made, and certainly looked as if I had gone to more effort than I had! Thank you, Pokey, for a great recipe :-)
