Ingredients

3 tablespoons dark rum

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon grated lime zest

1 mango, peeled and cubed

1 papaya, seeded and diced

1 small pineapple, peeled, cored, and diced

Directions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the dark rum, honey, fresh lime juice, and grated lime zest.
Warm the mixture for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the honey is fully dissolved and the glaze is warm and fragrant. Do not boil.
Remove from heat and allow the glaze to cool slightly for 2 minutes.
Place the cubed mango, diced papaya, and diced pineapple in a serving bowl.
Pour the warm rum-honey glaze over the fruit and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly.
Let the fruit sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving warm or chilled.

This bright, minimal fruit salad needs nothing but what you'd find at any Charlotte grocer—mango, papaya, pineapple, lime, honey, and rum are stock items at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, or Walmart year-round. At roughly $12–$15 for four servings, the cost per serving lands around $3–$4, driven entirely by the fresh fruit. The stated 20 minutes is honest: cutting tropical fruit takes 15 minutes, and the rum-honey dressing comes together in one minute. It's a same-night dessert or side that doesn't reheat, so plan accordingly, but it's a straightforward, fuss-free crowd-pleaser that works any season and stays true to what makes the dish sing.
