This an easy and impressive dessert, a variation of one from Betty Crocker. Most guests look a little disappointed when they see a dish of fruit for dessert - that quickly turns to raves of WOW with the first bite. I use dark spiced rum, canned grapefruit and mandarin oranges, and serve it plain and warm; but it will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator, and is also delicious cold. Delicious.
