3.
Bring contents of saucepan to a boil and simmer for about 12 minutes; stirring frequently. After 12 minutes, add the pineapple, mango, papaya and lime slices. Bring back to a simmer and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Chill for 2 to 3 hours in the refrigerator. Remove lemon grass before serving.
