Summer Fruit Salad With Lemon-And-Honey Syrup
- Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Salad:
- 3 cups chopped peeled cantaloupe
- 2 cups seedless grapes
- 1 1/2 cups sweet cherries, pitted and halved (about 1/2 pound)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled peaches (about 2 peaches)
- 6 fresh figs, quartered
- 4 apricots, quartered and pitted (about 1/2 pound)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
- To prepare syrup, combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium, and cook until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup (about 15 minutes).
- To prepare salad, place cantaloupe and the next 5 ingredients (cantaloupe through apricots) in a large bowl. Pour syrup over fruit; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Toss with mint just before serving.
