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.
