My guests (all 7 of them) rated this a definite 5 stars! It was delicious and absolutely hit the spot on a hot summer afternoon. I did, however, alter it and used tropical fresh fruit (pineapple, mango, kiwi, casaba melon, cantaloupe, red seedless grapes, blueberries and bananas). Served from a crystal bowl, it was equally delicious to the eye. In the autumn, I will definitely make it again using winter fruits more as you have described here. Since I had quite a lot of fruit, I more than doubled the honey and rum. Thank you for posting!
