Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 1 cup Fresh apricots, pitted and diced
- 1 cup Fresh peaches, pitted and diced
- 1 cup Fresh figs, quartered
- 1 cup Red seedless grapes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. This will take about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
While the syrup is cooling, prepare the fruits by washing, pitting, and chopping the apricots, peaches, figs, and grapes.
Once the syrup has cooled, combine it with the prepared fruits in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently to ensure the fruits are evenly coated with the syrup.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the soup a gentle stir. Serve chilled in individual bowls, garnished with fresh mint leaves on top.
