MACEDONIA DI FRUTTA (FRUIT SALAD)

Steps:

• Toss the cut up fruit together with sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Taste the combination: if too sweet, add a bit more lemon juice, if too tart, add a bit more sugar, bearing in mind that both tend to mellow after maceration.
• Let the fruit macerate for about 30 minutes in the fridge and there you have it!
