Method:

1. Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil for 3 minutes.

2. Halve the pomegranates and passion fruit and squeeze the juice as you would for a lemon. Pour into the syrup.

3. Hold the oranges over the saucepan to catch the juice and cut off all the rind and pith, then slice and halve the slices and add to the syrup.

4. Peel the mango and cut all the flesh off the stone (pit) in long strips. Halve if very big and add to the syrup. Peel and slice the kiwi fruit and add to the syrup.

5. Cut all the skin off the pineapple, slice the fruit, then cut into chunks, discarding any thick core. Add to the other fruit. Mix all together and leave until cold.

6. Transfer to a glass serving dish and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
