Fresh fruit medley with ginger-mint drizzle

Andreas Trauttmansdorff

Ingredients

  • 1-in. piece ginger, peeled

  • 1/4 cup fresh mint

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 pineapple, peeled

  • 1 cantaloupe, peeled

  • 1 pink grapefruit, peeled

  • 1 pint strawberries, hulled

Instructions

  • Thinly slice ginger. Place ginger, mint, sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, without stirring, until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain, then cool at room temperature or in refrigerator. Slice fruit into small pieces and arrange on a platter. Drizzle about 3 tbsp (45 mL) syrup over fruit just before serving. Serve extra in a pitcher for guests to help themselves.

All it takes to turn a fruit platter from drab to fab is a drizzle of our easy ginger-and-mint-infused syrup. It adds a sophisticated touch.

Easy Ginger-Mint Fizz

Our syrup makes a delicious drink. Pour a couple of tablespoons (30 mL) undiluted syrup into a glass. Fill with ice, then top with sparkling water. Add a squeeze of lime, if you wish.

Make Ahead

Make syrup and refrigerate in a sealed jar up to 1 week. Prepare fruit up to 1 day ahead and store in the refrigerator in resealable plastic bags. Bring to room temperature before serving.
