    Fig Salad

    1 cup water
    1/3 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon well-packed chopped fresh mint sprigs, including tender stems
    1 strip lemon zest
    1 strip lime zest
    6 to 8 fresh figs (use a combination of varieties, if available), stems removed, halved lengthwise if small or quartered if large
    1 cup diced peeled and seeded mango or papaya
    1 cup raspberries
    1 strip orange zest, cut into paper-thin strips
    6 small mint leaves, torn into pieces

    Recipe



    1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 20 minutes.

    2. Place fresh fruit in a shallow serving bowl. Sprinkle with orange zest. Set a strainer over fruit, and pour lukewarm syrup over, discarding solids. Cover tightly, and refrigerate until well chilled (about 2 hours). Top with fresh mint before serving
