TEQUILA LIME SYRUP FOR FRUIT SALAD

Tequila Lime Syrup for Fruit Salad image

This is lovely syrup used to brighten up the flavors of a simple fruit salad. The recipe comes to me from the Santa Fe Cooking School and works especially well as a light dessert after a Southwestern meal. The flavors are reminiscent of the popular mojito. I like it best with more tropical fruits like pineapple, mango and banana but find it works very well with summer fruits such as strawberries and grapes. One batch of syrup is plenty for 4-6 cups of fruit. You can prepare this days ahead of time and mix with the salad just before serving.

Tips:

Choose ripe fruits: Use ripe, flavorful fruits for the best results. Unripe fruits will be sour and lack sweetness.
Use fresh lime juice: Fresh lime juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the salad. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be bitter and lack flavor.
Don't overmix the salad: Toss the salad gently to combine the ingredients. Overmixing will break down the fruit and make the salad mushy.
Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop.
Garnish with fresh mint or cilantro: Garnish the salad with fresh mint or cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
