Recipe Introduction


This makes a beautiful salad. The syrup could be used to dress a lot of different fruits. You can keep the leftover syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Use the syrup in cocktails or iced tea, too.

List of Ingredients




MINT-LIME SIMPLE SYRUP
1 cup sugar
1 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice

FRUIT SALAD
2 (16-oz.) containers fresh strawberries, halved
1 (6-oz.) container fresh raspberries
2 cups seedless green grapes
2 kiwifruit, peeled and thinly sliced


Recipe



SYRUP:
Mix the sugar, mint leaves and a cup of water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stirring occasionally, bring to a boil and let boil until the sugar dissolves – about a minute. Remove from heat, stir in the lime juice and cool minutes. Pour through a strainer and chill, airtight, for at least 4 hours.

FRUIT SALAD:
Mix together the fruit and toss with 1/2 cup of the syrup. Serve chilled.

Serves 8-10.
