Mint Sugared Fruit Salad Description: Just like green salads, resist the temptation to include every fruit that’s available. Keeping it simple is the key recipe success. Th is recipe is from my grandmother. Yield: 6-8 servings
Ingredients
¼ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons sugar
1½ cups capped and quartered fresh strawberries, pitted sweet cherries or fresh raspberries
1½ cups seedless green grapes, halved
4 medium peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into large chunks
Instructions
Place the mint in a small canning jar and sprinkle with the sugar. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour, shaking the jar every 20 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and process until finely ground.
Place the berries or cherries, grapes and peaches in a shallow bowl and mix. Sprinkle evenly with the mint sugar and toss to coat. Cover and let stand until ready to serve.
