I would suggest skipping the honey and serving right away. This can be a costly dish when you add all the fruit up at the check-out counter, but if its all fresh from your garden then it truly is a good dish with good presentation.

I was not impressed with the soggy outcome. Since directions say to refrigerate for a few hours or overnight, I opted for overnight, for a brunch... rather than just an hour in the morning. I wish I had kept the strawberries out of the mix, and added them in the morning, same goes for the peaches (I used fresh). The lemon/honey flavor was overpowering to me. I guess I love FRUIT, just plain FRUIT. So next time, I won't add any juices whatsoever. It did look beautiful :) And w/o the lemon juice, pineapple, honey mixture, it would have gotten 5 stars. But all fruit does for me. Some people may prefer the sweetened flavor, and it may be for you. I didn't even taste a hint of nutmeg. So that wasn't an issue.

Good call, SwanInWA. The peaches (I just used fresh peaches that I diced) were an excellent choice, instead of nectarines. My only complaint: I should have made a lot more...

I served this salad at my Holiday Brunch yesterday and it was a hit. The nutmeg really enhanced the flavor of the fruit without being overpowering. I didn't want to mess with the nectarines, so I used two 8 oz. containers of fresh refrigerated peach chunks. That was the only alteration I made. I recommend serving this with a slotted spoon. This was such a nice alternative to the heavy whipped cream or sour cream recipes. I'll definitely make this again! THANKS!

Great salad. I added raspberries as well.
