Tossing fruit in a lemon infused syrup gives it a light sweet taste and prevents the fruit from turning brown when it is sliced and stirred. Feel free to pick your own favorite variety of fruit rather than what I have listed. This recipe makes 8 servings, so modify if you need to!
1/3 cup of sugar OR 1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves or lemon verbena leaves
2tbs. lemon or lime juice
2 cups seedless grapes, halved
2 peaches or nectarines, sliced
1 cup sliced strawberries or whole raspberries
1 cup blueberries
Bring sugar or agave nectar and 1/2 cup of water to a boil in saucepan. Let simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and mint leaves. Steep for 15 minutes and then strain out the mint leaves.
Combine fruit in a large bowl. Stir in sugar syrup, cover and chill for two hours or overnight.
