Mixed Fruit Salad with Sour Cream Sauce
|
1/3 cup granulated sugar |
|
1-cup water |
|
6 fresh mint leaves |
|
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, in juice, drained |
|
1 banana, sliced |
|
1 Granny Smith apple, chopped |
|
1-cup seedless green grapes |
|
1 cup sliced strawberries Sour Cream Sauce |
Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until sugar mixture reaches a syrup consistency. Discard mint leaves and cool syrup completely.
Combine pineapple, banana, apple, grapes, and strawberries in a large bowl. Pour syrup over fruit mixture; toss gently. Cover and chill at least one hour. Serve with Sour Cream Sauce.
Sour Cream Sauce
|
1/3-cup butter, softened |
|
1 cup powdered sugar |
|
½ cup sour cream |
|
½ teaspoon lemon juice |
|
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract |
Beat butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla; beating until mixture is creamy. Cover and chill until thoroughly cold. Serve over fruit salad. (I use light sour cream.)
NOTE: As to making the syrup mixture, I had to do it twice. The first time it was still too liquid (to my way of thinking) after 5 minutes, so I did it around 10 minutes. Then it was too thick by the time it cooled. So I redid it and just cooked it the 5 minutes stated in the recipe. It was still liquid, but the result was very good. It is a very refreshing salad and we both really liked it. It was in the July 2002 Southern Living under "Summer Suppers."
