I came up with this idea of a fruit salad with just a little extra zing. You don’t taste the Grand Marnier but it gives such a wonderful flavor. That and the melted popsicle.
I have done a melted popsicle many times and it just adds the right sweetness. Bumping it up with the Grand Marnier added just the right touch.
Amber said it was the best fruit salad she has ever had!! She couldn’t believe how great it was. Try this for Mother’s Day brunch. Enjoy!!
See what else we have to offer here today with all the wonderful recipes for brunch plus the last day of our amazing giveaway!!
Look at all the prizes!! Good luck!! Winners will be announced at the PinChatLive. Scroll down for more information.
