Ingredients
- 6 cups diced fruit (watermelon, strawberries, grapes, mango, pear, raspberries, banana and apple – or whatever fruit you have available)
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons grenadine
- sprigs of mint and extra strawberry or raspberries (to decorate)
- squeeze of lemon juice if using bananas and apples (to stop browning of fruit)
Instructions
- Start by making the syrup. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and stirring over low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is about to start simmering.
- Remove sugar mixture from the heat and add the grenadine. Set aside.
- Dice fruit and place into a bowl. If using bananas or apples, squeeze some lemon juice over the pieces of fruit before adding to the other fruit to prevent browning.
- Pour syrup over diced fruit and, ideally, sit in fridge to allow flavours to develop for a couple of hours.
- Spoon fruit into cups, making sure you scoop some of the syrup into each cup.
- Decorate with mint leaves and pieces of strawberries or raspberries for a festive touch.
Notes
- To get 6 cups of diced fruit, you'll need about enough fruit to cover a dinner plate.
- Make a few hours ahead for maximum flavour and freshness.
