Spicy Cantaloupe, Plum, and Grape Salad
From Cook's Country
A sugar syrup is the best way to sweeten and moisten a bowl of cut fruit, but can a quick fruit syrup do more? We wanted our fruit salad recipe to have fresh fruit flavor, and a big jolt from a quick fruit syrup. Adding potent seasonings like orange juice and jalapeño chile to the syrup as it cooked perked up the flavor. Mashing (with a potato masher) the juicy cantaloupe with a splash of citrus in the simmering syrup provided even more flavor to our fruit salad recipe.
Serves 4 to 6
To ensure ripeness, choose a cantaloupe that is fragrant and gives slightly when the stem end is pressed.
