How to Make Aromatic Fruit Salad
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, ½ cup water, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, and a pinch of ground cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the juice of ½ lime. Let the syrup cool while you prepare the fruit.
- Cut 4 cups cubed watermelon (about ½ a small watermelon) and remove any seeds.
- Cut 2 ripe guavas in half, remove seeds, and slice thinly.
- Slice 2 ripe nectarines and 1 pint of strawberries.
- Arrange the watermelon, guava, nectarines, and strawberries on a serving platter.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the spices. Spoon the syrup evenly over the fruit.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded coconut and serve immediately. Optional: Serve with a dollop of strained yogurt for extra creaminess.
