About the dish

Fruit salad No. II from the chapter "Salads, omelettes, side courses." A simple, elegant dessert salad where maraschino liqueur and sugar steep into the fruit while the bowl stands on crushed ice – a typical arrangement in finer bourgeois homes around 1914.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Prepare the fruit

    Clean the fruit and cut it into slices.

  2. 2

    Arrange in a bowl on ice

    Place the fruit in a deep salad bowl and set the bowl down in crushed ice.

  3. 3

    Mix

    Mix the different fruits well together using two forks.

  4. 4

    Sugar and maraschino

    Sprinkle over sugar to taste and add maraschino, also to taste.

  5. 5

    Let it macerate

    Let the salad stand and macerate at least 1 hour, and shake the bowl now and then while it stands.

  6. 6

    Variation

    Any one of the listed fruits can be left out if you don't have it.

Changes from the original

Quantities are estimated and set for a serving of 4, since the original only lists the ingredients without measures. Units are modernized (grams/tablespoons), and "finely chopped ice" is described as crushed ice/ice bath.
