Mexican Fruit Salad image

I got this recipe from my Spanish teacher in high school after a class party. It is so versatile & simple. You can use any fruit, I usually use apples, oranges/tangerines & bananas since that is usually what I have on hand. The measurements for fruit is about 4 cups chopped fruit, use less if you like more sauce, add more fruit if you want it a little thicker. You can add more fruit just before serving too. Prep time includes refrigeration time.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try adding some lime juice next time.
