     1/2                canteloupe
   8      ounces        grapes -- peeled
   4      slices        pineapple -- diced
     1/3  cup           caster sugar -- superfine
   2                    peaches; peeled -- pitted, and
   2      tablespoons   rum
                        cubed
     1/4  cup           cognac
   3      ounces        strawberries -- hulled
     1/2  bottle        sweet spumante
   3      ounces        blueberries -- trimmed

Preparation:

( Macedonia di Frutta allo Spumante ) Remove rind, seeds and center filaments from the melon; scoop the flesh into balls with a melon baller. Put all the fruits into a bowl and add the sugar, rum and cognac. Pour the spumante over. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Note: Take care in purchasing the Spumante not to get a bottle that is too dry. Moscato is your best choice, as it tends to run from slightly sweet to very sweet and for dessert, you will want it to be sweet.
