Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 2 cups Pineapple (diced)
- 1.5 cups Green grapes
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 large Mango (sliced)
- 2 Kiwifruit (peeled and sliced)
- 1 cup Cooked chestnuts (vacuum-sealed or canned)
- 1 cup Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and pat dry all the fruits. Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them in half.
Peel and dice the pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Slice the mango and kiwis, and leave the blueberries and grapes as is.
Arrange the prepared fruits on a large serving platter, grouping them by type for a visually appealing presentation.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cooked chestnuts, orange juice, and honey.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the chestnuts are soft and the liquid slightly reduces.
Transfer the chestnut mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the red chili flakes and ground cinnamon, then blend until smooth. Add a little water if needed to achieve a sauce-like consistency.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a small serving bowl.
Place the bowl of spicy chestnut fruit sauce in the center of the fruit platter.
Garnish the platter with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
