Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Assorted fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, mango, kiwi, pineapple, grapes, etc.)
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1.5 teaspoons Rose water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Wash and prepare the fresh fruits. Slice or dice them into bite-sized pieces if necessary, keeping each fruit distinct to maintain a variety of textures and colors.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely to form a simple syrup (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir the rose water into the cooled syrup. Taste and adjust the rose water quantity if a stronger floral flavor is desired, but use sparingly as it can be overpowering.
5. In a large serving bowl, gently toss the prepared fruits together.
6. Drizzle the rose water syrup evenly over the fruit. Lightly toss again to coat the fruit in the syrup.
7. Refrigerate the fruit salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to chill.
8. Serve the fruit salad in individual bowls, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
