- 2 cups (approx. 480ml) Freshly squeezed orange juice(Freshly squeezed juice provides the best flavor. If unavailable, use 100% pure orange juice without added sugar.)

Prepare the fruits: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Peel, core, and seed them as necessary. Dice all fruits into uniform, bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-1.5 cm (about 1/2 inch) in size. Aim for consistency in size so they are easy to eat with a spoon.
â±ïž 15 minutes - 2
Combine fruits and juice: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced assorted fruits. Pour the fresh orange juice over the fruits. Stir gently to coat all the fruit pieces without mashing them.
â±ïž 3 minutes - 3
Sweeten and chill: Taste the mixture. If the fruits are not sweet enough or you prefer a sweeter cocktail, gradually add sugar (or your chosen sweetener), stirring until dissolved. Start with a small amount and add more as needed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salpicón to chill thoroughly. This step is crucial for the best flavor and refreshing quality.
â±ïž 5 minutes active, plus chilling time - 4
Serve: Ladle the chilled salpicón into individual bowls or glasses. Ensure each serving gets a good mix of fruits and juice. Serve immediately as a refreshing dessert or snack.
