For the best texture, choose crisp apples. Instead of Granny Smith, you can also use Fuji or McIntosh. Bartlett or Bosc pears would also make great choices. Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup apple juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 granny smith apples, chopped |
2 oranges, peeled, sectioned, and halved |
1 cup red seedless grapes |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Stir together sugar, apple juice, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes or until mixture is reduced by about one-third. Remove pan from heat; stir in vanilla, and cool 30 minutes. Chill 2 hours.
2. Combine apples and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle chilled syrup over fruit, gently tossing to coat. Serve immediately, or cover and chill fruit mixture up to 24 hours.
3. Note: Syrup may be stored in an airtight container up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
