Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups Farmer's Pick Blackberry 100% Juice
¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
2 tsp fresh lime zest (about 2 limes)
2 tsp fresh ginger, fine grated
1 ½ cups fresh green grapes, seedless, washed and stems removed
1 ½ cups fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 ½ cups cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, chopped into bite-size pieces
1 ½ blackberries, washed
3-5 fresh green grapes, seedless, on stem

Steps:

Place Farmer's Pick Blackberry 100% Juice; in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Bring it to a boil and immediately reduce heat to medium low. Allow juice to simmer on low until reduced by half about 12-15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
Add the lime juice, zest and ginger into the warm blackberry juice. Pour juice into a container, cover and refrigerate. Prepare in advance to allow flavors to combine and for juice to cool.
In a trifle bowl or clear container, layer the fruit starting with the grapes, pineapple, strawberries, and cantaloupe, ending with the blackberries.
Pour the chilled blackberry, ginger and lime syrup over fruit, cover and refrigerate for 30 another minutes. Syrup will color the fruit purple and create a bolder flavor the longer the fruit sits in the syrup.
Serve chilled.
