How to Make Carse Of Gowrie Fruit Salad

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 2 tablespoons of sweet sherry. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely. Once cooled, stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.
  3. Briefly blanch 2 ripe peaches and 2 ripe apricots in boiling water for about 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, carefully peel the fruit.
  4. Slice the peaches and apricots and gently add them to the cooled syrup.
  5. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the peel and pith from 1 orange, reserving any juice that runs out. Slice the orange and add both the slices and the reserved juice to the fruit salad.
  6. Slice 2 ripe bananas and add them to the bowl.
  7. Gently fold in 1 cup raspberries, 1 cup strawberries (hulled and halved), and 1/2 cup cherries (pitted and halved).
  8. Spoon some of the syrup over the fruit to coat. Cover and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
  9. Serve chilled. Garnish with whipped cream (optional).
