JAMAICAN FRUIT SALAD

This recipe sings on the tongue. The rum really brings out the flavor of the fruit, and all the flavors meld together delightfully if you let the fruit absorb the sauce for a few minutes before eating. It's perfect for dinner parties, since it prepares quickly, sits a few minutes before serving, looks beautiful, and tastes gourmet.

JAMAICAN GARDEN SALAD

So simple, yet different. We just got back from Jamaica, and this was a salad we ate quite often. Most restaurants we went to served this as their "garden salad" and it was always served with thousand island dressing. We loved it so much, we made it as soon as we got back.
