I think you’ll love this colorful, pretty fruit salad, which is drizzled with a lovely orange-vanilla syrup. Slightly citrusy, nice and sweet, with a little hint of vanilla lusciousness. So simple to make, and you can use any fruit you want—melon chunks, orange pieces, apples, pears…the works.

Ingredients:
| 1 cup | sugar |
| 1 cup | water |
| juice of 1 orange | |
| zest of 1 orange | |
| 2 | whole vanilla beans, caviar scraped out (or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract) |
| 4 pints | strawberries, hulled and halved |
| 2 pints | blueberries |
| 2 cups | red grapes, halved |
| 2 cups | green grapes, havled |
| leaf | mint |
Directions:
Place the sugar, water, orange juice and orange zest into a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 to thicken slightly. Set aside to cool, then store in the fridge until cold.
Mix together all the fruit in a large bowl and pour the syrup over the top, tossing gently. Garnish with mint leaves and serve.
