Fresh Vanilla Bean Fruit Salad With A Recipe Video

FRUIT SALAD WITH ORANGE-VANILLA SYRUP

Steps:

• Place the sugar, 1 cup water, orange zest, juice and vanilla bean in a small pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Then bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes to thicken. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare all the 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.

HONEY-VANILLA FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Trim off all the peel and white pith from the oranges. Halve lengthwise and then slice crosswise into half-moons (remove any seeds). Transfer to a large bowl and add the strawberries and grapes.
• Combine the honey and vanilla bean in a small saucepan and warm, stirring, over low heat until the honey is warm and pourable and speckled with vanilla beans, about 3 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and scrape out any remaining seeds and stir them back into the honey; discard the bean pod. Pour over the fruit and toss well. Set aside to cool. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate until cold.

FRESH FRUIT SALAD WITH HONEY VANILLA YOGURT
