Sugar
4-6 tablespoons (for the fruit)

Fresh orange juice
1/4 cup (freshly squeezed)

Instructions
1
In a large glass bowl, combine 5 cups of your favorite sliced or diced mixed fruits, such as peaches, nectarines, apricots, and pitted cherries.
2
Sprinkle the fruits with 4 to 6 tablespoons of sugar, then drizzle in the fresh orange juice and liqueur. Gently toss the mixture to coat the fruits evenly.
3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the fruit mixture for about 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4
While the fruit is chilling, prepare to whip the cream. Place a medium mixing bowl and the beaters in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes.
5
If you wish to create decorative rosettes for serving, set up a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip for easy piping.
6
Once the bowl and beaters are chilled, pour in 1/2 cup of well-chilled whipping cream and add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
7
Begin whipping the cream at medium-high speed until it thickens. When it starts to hold soft peaks, add 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and continue whipping until the cream reaches the desired consistency.
8
For dollops, whip until it resembles soft yogurt. For piping, whip until the cream stands in soft peaks when the beaters are lifted.
9
To serve, use elegant wine glasses or dessert dishes. Spoon the fruit mixture into each glass, then either top with a dollop of whipped cream or use the pastry bag to pipe the cream in decorative swirls or rosettes over the fruit.
