INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• Juice and zest of 1 orange
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 pints strawberries, hulled and halved
• 2 pints blueberries
• 2 cups red grapes, halved

INSTRUCTIONS

Add sugar, water, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla to a small saucepan.

Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer syrup for 15-20 minutes until it’s thickened a bit. Chill until needed.

Cut and prepare fruit into a large bowl and pour half the cold syrup over top. Toss fruit gently to coat, then drizzle in the rest.

Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
