Fruit Salad with Vanilla Syrup image

FRUIT SALADS ARE BEST when based on what's in season. While the fruit may change, I always use a delicious vanilla syrup that works wonders with any combination. Below is a list of what fruits you'll find in season that pair well in this salad.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 cups cubed fruit

Steps:

  • Combine 1 cup water with the sugar, cinnamon, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower the heat, and simmer until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature before using.
  • Toss the fruit with the syrup and serve.
  • The syrup can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
