"I love the spicy syrup that goes over these sweet fruits. The measurements were a little hard you may want to scale down the watermelon and just do it by eye."

I served this with an asian style meal of fish, beans and asparagus and it was very refreshing indeed. DO sit the cinnamon stick, cloves ( I used 3) and the cardamom in the syrup for as long as you can manage, their flavours add a wonderful mellow dimention to this recipe and as a result this isn't too sweet as fruit in a syrup alone could have been. Please see my Rating System: a very refreshing 4 stars for a delightful summer fruit salad that our guest and I polished off between us... Made for Zaar World Tour 2008. Thank!
