SUMMER FRUIT SALAD WITH LEMON DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the dressing. In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the sugar, water, lemon zest and lemon juice. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, about 10-15 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken a bit. Cool, then refrigerate. The dressing needs to be completely cool before pouring it on the fruits.
• Make the salad. In a large bowl, toss all the fruit together including the mint. When ready to serve pour the lemon dressing over and toss well.

SPIKED SUMMER FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Trim off all the peel and white pith from the oranges. Halve lengthwise and then slice crosswise into half-moons. Transfer to a large bowl and add the mixed berries and peaches.
• Combine the honey, 1/4 cup water and ginger slices in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the rum and strain over the fruit and toss well. Set aside to cool and allow the flavors to blend, at least 30 minutes. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until cold.
