My REAL Journey

Peaches and Berries with Lemon-Mint Syrup

The key is to start with perfectly ripe summer peaches, then just add sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice (no bottled stuff!), blueberries and fresh mint.

If you’re thinking fresh herbs on fruit seems odd, you’ll just have to trust me.

Let the fruit soak up the syrup for a few hours, then add the delicate raspberries and blackberries before serving. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.    

This fruit salad is delicious and it screams, "SUMMER!"
