Fermented Fruit Salad

Last year Katie and I were going to make a fruit salad. We'd just gotten a bunch of fresh fruit from Kampala...or at least, we thought it was fresh. Unfortunately, Pastor Al got delayed an extra day in Kampala after he'd bought it, so it sat for quite a while in a container in the hot sun on top of the van roof.

I cut into a watermelon and juice started fizzing out of it. "Is that supposed to happen?" Katie and I asked each other, a little worried. We cut it all the way open and realized the foaming was due to fermentation. Yum!

The pineapple was the same way. In the end, we had to give up on the fruit salad idea and haul out a bunch of rotten fruit, which we had to stand on a log on tiptoe to throw over the wire fence into the garbage heap.
