   In what way are these figures irrelevant to you?   
   The fact is that edible fruits are 80-90% water   
   across the board except for bananas, and the   
   sugar percentage is pretty consistent vis a vis   
   stuff like roughage, the other major component.   
   Fruit is fruit, mostly - everything cancels out.   
      
   Amaretto chantilly   
   cat: dessert   
   Yield: 8 servings   
      
   6-1/4 oz pk miniature marshmallows   
   2/3 c Amaretto   
   6 oz jar maraschino cherries, drained & chopped   
   1 Tb lemon juice   
   1/4 ts almond extract   
   2 c whipping cream   
   2 Tb chopped pistachios or toasted chopped almonds   
       
   Combine marshmallows and amaretto in top of a double

   cook until marshmallows melt, stirring occasionally.   
   Remove from heat. Stir in cherries, lemon juice, and

   Beat whipping cream at high speed with an electric   
   mixer until soft peaks form. Fold into marshmalow   
   mixture. Spoon into individual parfait glasses (or   
   we used silicone molds), cover and freeze.   
      
   Pop out of molds (or remove glasses from freezer),   
   top with nuts and whipped cream and serve!
