FRUIT PLATTER

Steps:

• Wash all the fruit well.
• Prepare the mango by making thick slices down either side of the stone. Score the flesh of each 'cheek' into a criss cross, then flip it into a hedgehog shape and use a knife to cut off each cube of mango flesh.
• Prepare the pineapple by cutting the top and bottom (save the leafy top to include in your fruit platter for decoration if you wish). Stand it on the cut side and carefully cut off the thick rind. Cut long strips away from the hard core, then cut the strips into bite sized chunks.
• Slice the kiwi. (Kiwi peel is edible. Keep it on if you wish for decoration and provide a bowl for guests to discard it, or just remove it before cutting.)
• Rinse the raspberries and blueberries.
• Cut the melons in half and then quarters. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Cut the peel from the flesh and then cut the flesh into bite sized pieces.
• Wash the grapes but keep them on the stalk.
• Decoratively assemble the fruit on your chosen plate, tray or cake stand, grouping each type of fruit together and keeping different colours to different sections.

Reduce heat to low, simmering for 20 minutes, uncovered. Remove from heat, let cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. Do not discard passion fruit seeds! That's what makes the syrup so pretty.
• Combine all ingredients except egg white in a cocktail shaker over ice. Shake until thoroughly chilled.
• Strain contents of shaker into a standby glass, dump ice, put cocktail mixture immediately back into chilled shaker and add egg white. Shake vigorously for about thirty seconds or until egg white is foamed.
• Pour (don't strain) contents into a coupe glass.
• Garnish with a floating slice of passion fruit and a passion fruit leaf and vine tendril, if you've got them.
