2 1/2 cups diced ripe mango
2 1/2 cups diced ripe papaya
2 1/2 cups sugar
5 cups water
1 1/2 pints fresh strawberries
Splash orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier), optional
1 store-bought angel food cake, cubed
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • In 2 separate non-reactive saucepans, place the mango in 1 and the papaya in the other. Add 1 cup of sugar and 2 1/2 cups of water to each pan. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

To serve, lay some of the cubed angel food cake over the bottom each balloon wine glass or serving bowls. Place 2 small scoops of the mango sorbet over the cake.
