Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Squeeze juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange. Stir together syrup ingredients, mixing until honey is completely dissolved into the syrup.
  2. Rinse and slice fruit in the order that it is listed. Don't slice your apples or bananas until you're ready to add the syrup since the lemon in the syrup will keep them from browning.
  3. Drizzle syrup over the fruit and toss to evenly coat the fruit with syrup.
