Fruit Salad with Grape Juice Ginger and lime syrup
Ingredients
- 2 cups Welch’s® 100% Grape Juice made with Concord grapes
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tsp fresh lime zest (about 2 limes)
- 2 tsp fresh ginger, fine grated
- 1 1/2 cups fresh green grapes, seedless, stems removed
- 1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, bite-size pieces
- 1 1/2 cups cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, bite-size pieces
- 1 1/2 blackberries, washed
- 3-5 fresh green grapes, seedless, on stem
Preparation
- Place grape juice in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to medium low. Allow juice to simmer on low until reduced by half (12-15 minutes). Remove from heat and cool (5 minutes).
- Stir lime juice, zest and ginger into warm grape juice. Pour juice into a container, cover and refrigerate. Prepare in advance to allow flavors to combine and juice to cool.
- In a trifle bowl or clear container layer fruit— starting with grapes, pineapple, strawberries and cantaloupe, ending with blackberries.
- Pour chilled grape, ginger and lime syrup over fruit, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Syrup will color the fruit purple and create a bolder flavor the longer the fruit sits in the syrup.
