Fruit Salad

From Ladies Home Journal


List of Ingredients




1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3 pods star anise
1/2 cup white zinfandel wine
Six cups assorted fresh fruit (combine at least three of the following: pineapple chunks, blueberries, raspberries, peeled and sliced pears, diced mango, quartered strawberries, cubed cantaloupe or honeydew melon)
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish


Recipe



1. Bring water, sugar and star anise to a boil in small saucepan. Boil, stirring occasionally, until mixture is slightly thickened and syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Immediately stir in wine.

2. Combine desired fruits in a large bowl. Add syrup, tossing to coat. Refrigerate until cold, 2 hours. Discard star anise. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
