Fruit Salad With Orange Vanilla Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Place sugar, 1 cup water, orange zest, juice and vanilla bean in a small pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer about 15 minutes to thicken. Set aside to cool. Place prepared fruit in a large bowl. Pour the cooled syrup over the top and toss together. Decorate with mint leaves and chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, honey, vanilla, ginger and salt in a pot and reduce over medium-high heat to 1/2 to 3/4 cup (depending on the desired consistency), 10 to 15 minutes. You will know the full thickness of the syrup when it cools, so it is best to set up an ice bath with a stainless bowl over it to cool the mixture when it is finished reducing.

Steps:

• Combine the orange and lemon zest, vanilla bean, sugar, 5 sprigs mint and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand at least 2 hours. Strain.
• Stir the fruit into the syrup and refrigerate for 2 hours. Stir in the sliced mint and garnish with a mint sprig.

Steps:

• Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
• Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
