Fresh Fruit With Mojito Syrup
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 1 bunch Fresh Mint, Plus An Extra Few Leaves For Garnish, Chopped
- 1/2 cups White Rum
- 1 whole Lime, Juiced
- 2 whole Bananas, 1/4 Inch Thick

- Begin by placing your sugar, water, and mint in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the rum and continue to cook for another 10 minutes. Turn off your heat and mix in the juice of one lime. Remove the pan from the burner and set aside to let cool. Strain the syrup and place in the refrigerator until it is ready to be used.
- Add your fruit to a bowl, and pour on about a quarter cup of the syrup on top of the fruit. Add in the extra chopped mint leaves, and serve. A great tasting bowl of fruit salad with the extra surprise. This one should get your guests talking at the table.
