Method

Prepare the fruit and mix it lightly in a glass serving bowl. Boil the sugar and water together until they form a syrup; skim if necessary.

Allow the syrup to cool; then add wine and brandy, and pour over fruit. Stand in a cool place for several hours. Just before serving, sprinkle nuts or coconut over the top.

Whipped cream and cookies or biscuits may be served separately.
