  • “Delightful way to serve fruit!I loved the muscat with the melons and I think it would be great with other fruits as well.I thought I had some mint but couldn’t find it – I think that would have been a great addition too.Thanks for sharing this recipe!Made for the Best of 2010 Event (recommended by Cookgirl)”

  • “Does is still count as a review because I used a mixture of Trader Joe’s orange muscat vinaigrette and Oregon pinot noir instead of muscat wine? I hope so because it was yummy regardless. Garnished with fresh pineapple mint. Niiiiice!”

  • “It’s light, pretty, low cal and something I had never thought of before.Would be even prettier in a nice stemmed glass.Next time I would go a little lighter on the muscat but what a refreshing summer dessert!”
