- Peel the pineapple. cut in quarters, remove tough core and give to the child watching you ( or your inner child) to suck on. Slice relatively thinlyrnPlace at the bottom of a large, pretty bowl . Squeeze the tough skin over it to get more juice and add to bowl
- Peel the grapefruit if using and remove all of the pith. Slice it cross-wise into rounds as thinly as possible. Remove seeds If large the slices may be cut into semi-circles Add on top of the pineapple
- Peel oranges, remove all pith, and slice thinly into rounds. Remove seeds and as with the grapefruit, if large may be sliced into semi-circles.
- Put spoonfuls of the undiluted, frozen OJ over the top It should not be mixed in because of the layers.
- Pour the grand marnier into the OJ container to get whatever bit might be left, swirl and pour it over the fruit.
- Wash, dry and hull strawberries. Slice them length-wise thinly. Layer them completely over the top.
- Refrigerate overnight
- Take out several hours before serving to come to room temperature. Do not mix since the berries tend to over macerate and fall apart in the OJ Alcohol mix.
- To serve, just spoon into pretty bowls. serve over vanilla ice cream or sherbert
