Best Roasted Fruit Salad With Lemon Verbena Recipes
FRESH FRUIT WITH LEMON VERBENA SIMPLE SYRUP
Adapted from papawow.com. Use a colorful variety of seasonal fresh fruit of your choice: peaches, other types of berries or melons, red seedless grapes, etc. I reduced the amount of sugar from the original 2-1 ratio but please feel free to add more. Lemon verbena is a favorite herb of mine! Recently I made this using galia melon only (see photo).

Steps:
- Simple syrup: combine the water and sugar in a small pan and bring to the boil.
- Boil mixture until it is reduced by half.
- Stir in the lemon verbena leaves. Set aside to allow verbena leaves to infuse and the mixture to cool completely.
- Salad: Prep the fruit and arrange on a large shallow platter.
- Once the simple syrup is cool, use a fine mesh strainer and drizzle the syrup all over the fruit.
- *Garnish fruit with a few fresh lemon verbena leaves. Or cover and chill until ready to serve.
- *Tip: fresh lemon verbena leaves wilt quickly. Garnish the fruit platter with freshly cut lemon verbena leaves [just] before serving.
- Yield is estimated.

ROASTED-FRUIT SALAD WITH LEMON VERBENA
Any stone fruit can be used here. Pick whatever looks good at the market, but choose fruits that are similar in size and ripeness, so they will cook evenly in the lemon verbena sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat sugar, lemon verbena, and corn syrup in large straight-sided ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until sugar melts, about 3 minutes. Place Pluots, plums, and apricots, cut sides down, on top of sugar mixture, and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar mixture is liquid and bubbling.
- Transfer skillet to oven, and roast until fruits are soft but not mushy, 4 to 4 1/2 minutes. Remove from oven, and swirl in butter and cream. Drizzle fruit with sauce, and garnish with lemon verbena sprigs.
