Instead of a fruit cup, I was planning to slice the fruits and set up a fruit bar. That setup would allow each person to create a fruit bowl according to their personal taste. I must confess that by going that route, I also wanted to be able to enjoy my pineapple and mango on their own.<\/p>\n<p>See, though they are among the most refreshing summer fruits, I am not fond of melons. But, as I stood there, knife in hand ready to cut through the fruits that were perfectly lined up on our countertop, I went back in time. Memories of my childhood came flooding back.<\/p>\n<p>There we were, my sister and I, standing at that same spot 20 something years ago. We were waiting for someone to cut through the fruits so that we could turn their flesh into bite-sized fruit balls.<\/p>\n<h5>Preparing that fruit salad had become a playful time for us.<\/h5>\n<p>We took turns extracting the fruit pulps using a melon baller. Watermelon, cantaloupe, melon France, were among the fruits we had the chance to play with. We tried our best to prepare a fruit salad with perfectly rounded fruit balls, and the least amount of seeds. We had even become experts at extracting the rebellious ones with our small children fingers without crushing the flesh.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2684\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/summer-in-a-fruit-cup\/fruit-salad-haiti-salade-de-fruits-tchakayiti\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/fruit-salad-haiti-salade-de-fruits-tchakayiti.jpg?fit=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;All rights reserved.

These fruits are at the core of any Haitian fruit bowl. That doesn\u2019t mean we stuck to those and those only, however. We often added our own twist to it.\u00a0 We mixed in other fruits of the season based on our mood or what we had at the house.<\/p>\n<p>This explains why today\u2019s fruit salad features <a href=\"http:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/mango-haiti-mangues\/\">mango baptiste<\/a> alongside the melon trinity and pineapple. I could have explored other flavors by also including some <a href=\"http:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/caribbean-apricot-abricot-antilles\/\">Caribbean apricots<\/a> and papaya but I chose not to for various reasons.<\/p>\n<p>As I pictured my eight-year-old self in that kitchen, it occurred to me that the apricot would not be easily turned into balls for that flesh is quite firm. The little OCD girl I was would not have been happy with weirdly shaped apricot slices in what was to be the perfectly round fruit cocktail. As for the papaya, well, I\u2019ll just say it as it is. My taste buds have yet to get along with this fruit that releases such a strong perfume.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2660\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/summer-in-a-fruit-cup\/watermelon-fruit-salad-haiti-salade-melon-tchakayiti\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tchakayiti.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/watermelon-fruit-salad-haiti-salade-melon-tchakayiti.jpg?fit=1200%2C1800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;All rights reserved.

deconstructed fruit bowl. Instead of a fruit cup, I was planning to slice the fruits and set up a fruit bar. That setup would allow each person to create a fruit bowl according to their personal taste. I must confess that by going that route, I also wanted to be able to enjoy my pineapple and mango on their own. See, though they are among the most refreshing summer fruits, I am not fond of melons. But, as I stood there, knife in hand ready to cut through the fruits that were perfectly lined up on our countertop, I went back in time. Memories of my childhood came flooding back. There we were, my sister and I, standing at that same spot 20 something years ago. We were waiting for someone to cut through the fruits so that we could turn their flesh into bite-sized fruit balls. Preparing that fruit salad had become a playful time for us. We took turns extracting the fruit pulps using a melon baller. Watermelon, cantaloupe, melon France, were among the fruits we had the chance to play with. We tried our best to prepare a fruit salad with perfectly rounded fruit balls, and the least amount of seeds. We had even become experts at extracting the rebellious ones with our small children fingers without crushing the flesh. This fruit salad had become quite the family staple through the years. Year after year, it refreshed our hot summer days with its three melon varieties and pineapple. These fruits are at the core of any Haitian fruit bowl. That doesn\u2019t mean we stuck to those and those only, however. We often added our own twist to it.\u00a0 We mixed in other fruits of the season based on our mood or what we had at the house. This explains why today\u2019s fruit salad features mango baptiste alongside the melon trinity and pineapple. I could have explored other flavors by also including some Caribbean apricots and papaya but I chose not to for various reasons. As I pictured my eight-year-old self in that kitchen, it occurred to me that the apricot would not be easily turned into balls for that flesh is quite firm. The little OCD girl I was would not have been happy with weirdly shaped apricot slices in what was to be the perfectly round fruit cocktail. As for the papaya, well, I\u2019ll just say it as it is. My taste buds have yet to get along with this fruit that releases such a strong perfume. But wait that is not all. I was in the mood for an adult fruit salad. Though, I wanted this fruit cup to take me down memory lane, I couldn\u2019t help but kick things up a notch. I prepared and poured a mint lime syrup infused with rum atop the fruit salad. I also added some chopped ti bonm to the mix. And, I must admit, even I, the melon hater, enjoyed that salad. This article was first published on July 8, 2015. The 2019 update includes new pictures and a revised recipe. This fruit salad features the best of Haiti&#x27;s summer fruits and our favorite local rum Barbancourt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":""},"categories":[7,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fruits","category-recipes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Summer in a Haitian fruit salad spiked with rum - Tchakayiti<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This fruit salad combines the best of Haiti&#039;s summer fruits: watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, even mango.
