Ingredients

  • 6 to 7 fresh strawberries
  • 1 orange, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 2 slices cantaloupe, raspberries, or other fresh fruit
  • 1/8 cup Golden Eagle table syrup or honey
  • 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Clean and peel the fruit as needed. Cut the larger fruits, like strawberries, oranges, and cantaloupe, into bite-sized pieces. Leave smaller berries, like raspberries, whole.
  2. Season: Place all the prepared fruit into a medium bowl and sprinkle with a small pinch of salt.
  3. Sweeten: Drizzle the Golden Eagle syrup or honey over the fruit.
  4. Toss: Mix everything together well so the fruit is evenly coated with the sweetener.
  5. Finish: Just before serving, lightly sift the powdered sugar over the top for a beautiful, sweet finish.

Notes

Tammy's Tips

Using Golden Eagle syrup gives this a real Southern touch, but honey works beautifully too! The tiny bit of salt is the secret,it actually helps make the fruit taste even sweeter. This salad is best when made fresh, but you can prep the fruit a little ahead of time and just add the syrup and powdered sugar right before you sit down to eat.
