Elevate your fruit salad with fresh seasonal fruits.
Ingredients:
  • 1 vanilla bean, split in half lengthways
  • 250ml rose petal
  • 200g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp rosewater or 2 rose geranium leaves
  • 3 wide strips of lemon rind, thinly peeled
  • 6 figs, halved
  • 2 x 120g punnets raspberries
  • 400g lychees, peeled
  • Fresh ricotta (optional), to serve
  • Crisp biscuits, to serve
Instructions:
  • First, extract the seeds from a vanilla bean and deposit them into a saucepan. Include the scraped bean, wine, sugar, rosewater or rose geranium leaves, lemon rind, and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium flame, stirring until the sugar dissolves, then let it simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Next, place figs, raspberries, and lychees in a heatproof bowl, pour the syrup over them, allow to cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate until cold.
  • Serve the fruit salad in shallow bowls accompanied by a dollop of fresh ricotta, if desired, and crispy biscuits on the side.
