How to Make Fruits In Syrup

  1. Combine 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sherry and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (or lime juice, to taste).
  4. Peel and segment 1 orange.
  5. In a medium bowl, gently toss together 1 cup of fresh pineapple chunks and 1 cup of peeled lychees.
  6. Pour the cooled syrup over the fruit mixture, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  7. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
