Reduce your waste: Keep all peels, cores, and tops of produce and make fruit syrup, compost, and plant the pineapple top or cantaloup seeds (you can also roast the seeds).

Wash all produce thoroughly and pat dry.   Cut the pineapple into cubes.  Dice a few of the pineapple cubes into small ¼ inch diced pieces to be used as mocktail inclusions, about 2 tbsp worth of pineapple.

Clean and deseed cantaloupe.  Cut the cantaloupe into 1” cubes.

Cut the tops off of the strawberries.  Reserve two strawberries to be used as mocktail garnish.

Slice the lemons and limes for mocktail garnish and save the ends for making fruit syrup.

In a medium pot, place your fruit scraps, sugar, and water.  If you have a lot of fruit scraps, you can double the sugar and water, and make more syrup for later.  Heat to a simmer for about 15 minutes.  Stir to avoid burning.

•  Remove from heat and chill slightly.  Place into a blender and blend until it is liquified.  Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove all particles.
