Steps:

Combine all fruit in a large bowl. Drizzle with honey to taste. Pour juices and liqueur over fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
Cook pasta in boiling water, drain and rinse in cold water. Place pasta in a large bowl and allow to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally to keep pasta from sticking.
