Share:
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fruit watermelon, strawberries, grapes, mango, pear, raspberries, banana and apple - or whatever fruit you have available, diced
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tablespoons grenadine
- mint sprigs of mint and extra for decorating
- strawberry
- raspberry
- lemon juice squeeze, use if using bananas and apples to stop browning
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.
