Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 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
- ½ orange, juiced
- 3 tablespoons jelly (strawberry, currant, raspberry; sugar-free can be used)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Clean all the fresh fruit thoroughly under cold water. Gently pat dry using paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Place the prepared strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and grapes together in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the Glaze: In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the jelly and microwave for about 20 seconds or until melted into a liquid consistency. Allow it to cool slightly, then whisk in the freshly squeezed orange juice and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the jelly glaze over the fruit in the large bowl. Gently fold the glaze into the fruit, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly without bruising them. Serve immediately for the freshest taste or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
- This fruit salad combines the natural sweetness and tartness of fresh berries and grapes with a simple, flavorful glaze.
- It is excellent served on top of yogurt, oatmeal, or as a light, refreshing dessert on its own.
- Use sugar-free jelly if you prefer a reduced sugar version without sacrificing flavor.
- For best results, consume shortly after preparation to enjoy the freshness of the fruit.
