Instructions

  • Rinse and dry all fruit (strawberries, grapes, apples, bananas, and blueberries).
  • Make the syrup: in a small bowl or jar combine 2 rounded Tbsp of honey and the juice of 1 lemon OR juice of 1 lime OR 1/2 of each; whisk or stir until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
  • Prepare the fruit: - Hull and slice the strawberries. - Peel and slice the bananas. - Core and cut the apples into bite-sized pieces. - Leave the grapes whole or halve them, as you prefer. - If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain any excess liquid.
  • Place the fruit in a large bowl in this order: grapes first, then sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, sliced apples, and finally the blueberries.
  • Pour the honey–citrus syrup over the fruit.
  • Gently toss the fruit with a large spoon or spatula until all pieces are evenly coated with the syrup, taking care not to mash the berries or bananas.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and keep refrigerated if not serving right away; stir gently before serving if chilled.
