1 ½ cups assorted chopped fruit (such as pealed peaches, nectarines, pears and/or grapes)

With a ladle or cup transfer half of the watermelon juice mixture to a 2-quart square baking dish and add fruit. Cover and refrigerate about 1 ½ hours or thickened to the texture of eggs whites so fruit will stay distributed (keep remaining watermelon juice mixture at room temperature) carefully spoon remaining watermelon juice mixture over set mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1 ½ hours more or until all layers are set.
