  1. Put the sugar, water and wine in a small saucepan, bring to the boil and boil for 5 minutes.
  2. Allow to cool, then pour this syrup into a nice bowl and stir in the lemon juice and sherry.
  3. Dip the peaches and apricots very briefly in boiling water and then skin them carefully.
  4. Slice them and put them immediately into the syrup.
  5. Pare the skin and pith from the orange with a sharp knife and cut it into slices, catching the juice on a plate.
  6. Put the orange slices and juice into the salad. Slice the bananas and add them too.
  7. Lastly put in the raspberries, redcurrants stripped of their stalks and cherries, halved and stoned.
  8. Spoon some of the liquid over the fruit and chill thoroughly before serving with or without whipped cream.
