The perfect fruit salad for a backyard bbq or any occasion. There are never leftovers! This is one of my favorite fruit salad recipes, as I think the sauce really makes it. This salad is tastier the longer you can let it soak in its juices. I prefer 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator before I serve it. Enjoy. Ingredients:
2/3 cup fresh orange juice |
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple |
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced |
3 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced |
3 bananas, sliced |
2 oranges, peeled and sectioned |
1 cup seedless grapes |
2 cups blueberries |
Directions:
1. Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
2. Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
