Wash all the fruits thoroughly and pat them dry. Next, peel, core, and cut 1 pineapple and 2 apples into 3/4-inch cubes. You can use an apple corer or a sharp knife to remove the core of the apples. Then, clean 1 melon by slicing the exposed melon in half, either lengthwise or crosswise, and use a spoon to scoop the seeds from the center and discard the seeds. From there, cut it into 3/4-inch cubes. Peel and cut 3 oranges into 3/4-inch cubes as well.

Put all the fruit cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 pound of red seedless grapes to the mixing bowl. You can leave them whole or cut them in half, depending on your preference.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the mixing bowl; adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste. Pour in 52 fl oz of good quality store-bought orange juice and 4 cups freshly squeezed orange juice into the mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice from 1 lemon or lime into the mixing bowl. Gently mix all the ingredients together until the sugar is dissolved and the fruit is evenly coated with the juice mixture.

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend together.
