Steps:

• Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
• Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

Remove from the heat, stir in the rum and strain over the fruit and toss well. Set aside to cool and allow the flavors to blend, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place peeled, pitted and sliced peaches in a bowl.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice and stir to coat. This is to help prevent browning. If the salad is to be served immediately, you can skip the lemon juice.
• Wash and pat dry blueberries and add to peaches.
• Drain the maraschino cherries and add to bowl.
• Wash and pat dry green grapes. You can add these whole or sliced lengthwise, depending on the size of the grapes. If you prefer, you can peel and slice the kiwi fruit and use those instead of the grapes.
• Mix well and serve within an hour or so. No need for dressing!
