I love making herbal syrups like the simple dressing for this colorful fruit salad. It definitely adds pizzazz to our Easter dinner. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1 cup water |
1 cup loosely packed mint sprigs |
2-1/2 cups chopped apples |
2-1/2 cups chopped ripe pears |
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple |
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries |
1 cup fresh blueberries |
1 cup mayonnaise |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add mint; cover and steep for 20 minutes. Strain and discard mint. Transfer syrup to a small bowl; refrigerate until chilled.
2. Just before serving, combine the apples, pears, pineapple, strawberries and blueberries in a large bowl. Stir mayonnaise into mint syrup until blended; pour over fruit and toss to coat. Yield: 12 servings.
