Although I have not tried this particular recipe, I got it from a good
source and a friend of mine has been to this chef's restaurant and has
had it. It is good:

For best results, use fresh litchis. Canned litchis or fresh honeydew
melon may be substituted.

Canned litchis can be found at any oriental grocery store or
supermarket.
