Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and cut in half
- 6 ounces fresh blueberries (one clamshell container)
- 6 ounces fresh blackberries (one clamshell container)
- 2 cups grapes, cut in half or left whole
Glaze
- 1/2 orange, juiced
- 3 tablespoons jelly (strawberry, currant, raspberry, or sugar-free jelly)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Clean all the fresh fruit thoroughly under running water. Gently pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then place the fruit in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Jelly Glaze: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the jelly in the microwave for about 20 seconds or until it becomes liquid. Allow it to cool slightly. Add the freshly squeezed orange juice and vanilla extract, then whisk the mixture until it is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Toss: Pour the prepared jelly glaze over the fresh fruit in the large bowl. Gently fold the mixture, making sure all pieces of fruit are coated evenly with the glaze. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, juicy flavors.
Notes
- This salad offers a refreshing medley of seasonal fruits with a simple, naturally sweet glaze.
- Enjoy this fresh fruit salad on top of yogurt, oatmeal, desserts, or on its own as a healthy snack.
- You can substitute sugar-free jelly for a lower sugar version.
- Make sure to dry the fruit well to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
