1. Peel and section oranges over a small bowl to

reserve juices. Stir sugar and rum, if using, into

orange juice until sugar is dissolved. In a large

mixing bowl combine the orange sections, pineapple

chunks, star fruit slices, and mango and/or papaya

slices; drizzle with orange juice mixture. Stir gently

to coat. Cover and chill for 1 to 24 hours, stirring

gently once or twice.

2. To serve, arrange a long slice of papaya in each

dessert dish. With a slotted spoon lift fruit mixture

into dishes atop the papaya slice. Top with whipped

cream and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Makes 6 to 8

servings.
