Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 2 medium Sliced bananas
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all fruits. Hull and slice strawberries, peel and slice bananas, and cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Combine strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and pineapple chunks in a large mixing bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine fresh orange juice, honey, and fresh lemon juice. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the honey is fully dissolved into the juice (about 2–3 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes before pouring over the fruit.
Pour the fruit sauce over the prepared fruits in the mixing bowl. Gently toss the fruits to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Chill the fruit salad in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an optional pop of flavor and color. Serve in individual bowls or on a platter.
