Ingredients

  • 8 cups fresh fruit chopped (nectarines, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, grapes, melon, plums, pluots, etc.)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup lime juice OR 1/4 cup lime juice and 1/4 cup rum
  • 2 tbsp mint fresh - chiffonade

Instructions

  • Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Heat until sugar is fully dissolved. Let cool.
  • Stir in lime juice and/or rum.
  • Drizzle about half of the lime mixture over chopped fruit and gently stir until combined.
  • Continue adding lime mixture just until fruit is lightly coated. You don't want a puddle at the bottom of the bowl.
  • Sprinkle with fresh mint and stir gently just prior to serving.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you are one of those people who don't like to actually EAT mint (you know who you are!) simply add the mint leaves to the simple syrup and let simmer until sugar dissolves. Strain the mint leaves from the syrup before combining with lime juice. Tada!
