Ingredients
- 250 ml Water
- Cinnamon Stick
- 100 g caster sugar
- 400 g tin fruit cocktail in syrup
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon sweet sherry
- 1 green apple sliced
- 1 orange segments separated
- 1 banana sliced
- 75 g purple stoneless grapes halved
Instructions
- Put water with the cinnamon stick into a pan.
- Place the pan on stove and gently heat the mixture until it’s simmering then stir in the sugar until its dissolved. Continue stirring until the liquid resembles a syrup consistency.
- Remove from heat, add the syrup (don’t throw out the fruit!) from tinned fruit cocktail. Strain this liquid, remove and discard cinnamon stick and allow to cool. Then pour into a glass serving bowl.
- Add tinned fruit, lemon juice, sherry, sliced apple, orange segments, sliced banana and halved grapes to the liquid.
- Cover and store in the fridge until required for serving.
Notes
I recommend making this a few hours before required so the fruit has long enough time to marinate in the syrup.
