How to Make Refreshing Tropical Fruit Salad With Vanilla Mint Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1 vanilla bean (split and scraped), 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, and the zest of 1 lime.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract all the flavor. Stir in the juice of 1 lime.
- Refrigerate the syrup for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (The syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.)
- In a large bowl, gently toss together 1 cup cubed mango, 1 cup cubed papaya, 1 cup cubed cantaloupe or honeydew melon, and 1 cup cubed pineapple.
- Pour the chilled vanilla mint syrup over the fruit.
- Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the fruit to chill before serving.
