RCowboy Fruit Salad


Cowboy Fruit Salad

So much flavor; the jalapeno simple syrup is genius, and the mint gives it that fun "what's that I'm tasting" twist.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar
1 jalapeno, cut lengthways and seeded
zest and juice of 1/2 lime
1 cup hulled and halved strawberries
1 cup cubed honeydew melon
1 cup green seedless grape, halved lengthwise
1 cup red seedless grape, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped


Directions:
For the spicy syrup: Put the sugar, jalapeno and 1/2 cup water in a pan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced to a thin syrup, about 10 minutes. Remove the jalapeno. Let the syrup cool, then add the lime zest and juice.

For the cowboy fruit salad: Add the strawberries, melon and green and red grapes to a bowl, pour over all of the syrup and toss. Sprinkle over the mint leaves.
