Fruit Medley with Mint and Lime

1 C. seedless green grapes, halved

1 C. seedless red grapes, halved

3 plums, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

2 peaches, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

2 nectarines, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

2 limes

1 C. water

1/4 C. sugar

6 mint sprigs

2 T. chopped fresh mint

1 T. fresh lime juice

1 tsp. grated lime rind

Mint sprigs (optional)

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; cover and chill. Carefully remove 6 (2-inch) strips of rind from limes using a vegetable peeler, making sure to avoid the white pithy part of the rind. Combine lime strips, water, sugar, and 6 mint sprigs in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 1/2 C. (about 5 minutes). Discard lime strips and mint sprigs; cool. Stir in chopped mint, juice, and grated rind. Pour over fruit, tossing gently to coat. Garnish with additional mint sprigs, if desired.
