  This was absolutely delicious. Very simple to make. Don't worry that the sauce will be too sweet once on the fruit it is just right. I made if for my in laws and they were very impressed.

  delicious and very very easy. As I had to transport this I made the syrup in advance and added the lychees, keeping them in a plastic container. The lychees tasted lovely as they took on the flavour of the syrup.

  I sometimes use a piece of peeled ginger root in a fruit salad. Just add in place of the lemongrass, and leave in the syrup when cooling to make it extra gingery. It will take longer to chop up your own fruit, but it is much cheaper and fresher than buying it ready-packaged.
