  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the syrup becomes clear.

  3. Let the syrup steep and cool completely. This is best done by setting aside in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. While the syrup is cooling, wash and hull the strawberries. Cut into quarters.
  5. Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. Remove any membranes.
  6. Gently combine the quartered strawberries and orange segments in a medium bowl.
  7. Pour the cooled basil syrup over the fruit.
  8. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly.
  9. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
