Cinnamon-Basil Fruit Salad
Description:
"It's easy to vary the flavors in this salad by using different fruits, but the herb syrup always makes it taste special."
Ingredients:
2 C sugar
1 C water
1 C packed fresh basil leaves
3 sprigs fresh spearmint or mint
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
2 C fresh raspberries or blackberries
1 C cubed cantaloupe
1 C cubed honeydew
1 C fresh blueberries
1 medium apple, sliced
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil. Remove from the heat. Stir in the basil, spearmint and cinnamon stick. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Discard the herbs and cinnamon stick from syrup. In a serving bowl, combine the fruit. Drizzle with syrup; gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Serve with a slotted spoon. Yield: 8-10 servings.
