1 cup water
juice of 1 orange
zest of 1 orange
2 whole Vanilla beans, caviar scraped out (or 2 tsp Vanilla extract)
4 pints strawberries, cleaned and halved
2 pints blueberries
2 cups red grapes, halved
2 cups green grapes, halved
mint leaves
Place the sugar, water, orange juice and zest into a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool then store in fridge until cold. Mix together all of the fruit in a large bowl and pour the cooled syrup over the top, tossing gently. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
This was fabulous! So easy, pretty, delicious and impressive. Very colorful and fragrant too! I made this with blackberries and I've had it with blueberries and either one works great. It's the color effect that you are going for here. We eat with our eyes first so when something looks this pretty and good you know you are going to love how it taste!!!
P.S. I got this recipe from my mom who saw it on Pioneer Woman. Now you know it's got to be good!
