Delicious! This can be prepared ahead of time by making the simple syrup and chopping the fruits, just refrigerate seperately and then combine just before serving. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup basil leaves, packed |
1 tablespoon lime rind, grated |
4 cups pineapple, cubed |
3 cups strawberries, quartered |
4 kiwi, peeled and sliced |
2 cups mangoes, peeled and cubed |
Directions:
1. Make the simple syrup by combining the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook for a minute until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Remove pan from heat, stir in the basil and lime rind. Cool. Strain to discard the solids.
3. Combine the fruits in a large bowl. Drizzle with the simple syrup. Toss gently.
