Make it work in your kitchen

Sweetness varies, so taste the fruit before adding honey; omit honey entirely for children under one year. Fruit can release juice as it stands, so stir gently before serving. This recipe is not suitable for room-temperature display over a long event. Keep it chilled and adapt piece sizes for the people eating it.
