How to make vanilla spiced fruit salad recipe
Serves 4
Preparation time 10 minutes, plus cooling, Cooking time 4–5 minutes
Ingredients:
150 ml (¼ pint) apple juice
1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthways
2 tablespoons agave nectar or soft light brown sugar
2 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced
250 g (8 oz) strawberries, hulled and thickly sliced
125 g (4 oz) blueberries
1 mango, peeled, stoned and sliced
mint leaves, to decorate
Method:
Warm the apple juice in a small saucepan with the split vanilla pod and agave nectar or sugar over a medium-low heat. Simmer gently for 4–5 minutes, then leave to cool completely. Remove the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into the light syrup.
Combine the fruits in a large bowl and drizzle over the vanilla-spiced syrup. Stir gently to coat and spoon into serving bowls. Sprinkle with mint leaves and serve.
For Asian-style fruit salad, replace the apple juice with 150 ml (¼ pint) pineapple juice and simmer in a saucepan with 2 star anise, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 cloves and the agave nectar. Leave to cool, then chill for 1 hour.
Cut off the top and base of 1 small pineapple and slice off the skin. Cut the pineapple into quarters and remove the core from each quarter. Cut into slices and combine with the mango, a 400 g (13 oz) can drained lychees and 2 sliced star fruits in a serving bowl. Pour over the syrup and serve.
