Mojito Fruit Cocktails

(serves 4)

3/4 c. diced fresh strawberries
3/4 c. diced fresh pineapple
2 kiwis, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
2 oranges, peel and white part (pith) removed, cut in segments and diced
2 Tbsp. white rum (optional)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. grated lime peel
Garnish: sugar, red liquid food color (for pink-tinted sugar for glass rims), and lime slices

Mix all ingredients except garnish. Let stand, tossing occasionally, 10 minutes until juicy and sugar dissolves.

To garnish and serve, spread about 2 tablespoons sugar on a plate. Add one or two drops food coloring and blend with fingers until sugar is evenly tinted pink. Pour a little water into a shallow bowl. Dip rim of martini or other serving glass in water, then the sugar, to coat rim. Spoon in fruit and juice. Garnish with a lime slice.
