3. Remove saucepan from heat and let cool for a few minutes; then add the lime juice and lime zest, stirring to combine; set aside.

Anyone for fruit salad? How about fruit salad with a kick?! This is a remarkable fresh fruit salad that is very grown up - no whipped cream, no marshmallows - just good fruit with a simple syrup dressing, and of course the rum!
Of course you can eliminate the rum if you want to serve this without alcohol. Just make the simple syrup without the rum and follow the rest of the recipe directions. It's also very fresh and yummy.
