Berry Medley Recipe
- ½ cup sugar
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1¾ lb (800g) fresh strawberries, raspberries, and/or blueberries
- Bring 1¾ cups water and the sugar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Stop stirring, increase the heat to high, and boil for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon zest and juice and let cool completely.
- Hull the strawberries and cut large ones in half. Combine the berries in a bowl and add the syrup. Stir gently to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Spoon into bowls and serve.
- Variation:
- Winter Salad: Use sliced apples and segmented oranges, instead of berries. For an exotic version, try papaya and mango, and use lime in the syrup.
