Fruit Salad with Orange-Vanilla Syrup

sugar

orange

vanilla bean

strawberries,

blueberries

grapes,

red grapes,

mint leaves

Place the sugar, 1 cup water, orange zest, juice and vanilla bean in a small pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Then bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes to thicken. Set aside to cool.

Prepare all the fruit in a large bowl, pour the cooled syrup over the top and toss together. Decorate with mint leaves and chill until ready to serve.

We absolutely love this fruit salad with orange vanilla syrup! I have been making it for years and it is something that everyone in the family really enjoys! 

This was very good.  I replaced half of the strawberries with fresh pineapple.  I also reduced the whole recipe by half (still used whole vanilla bean) and it still made a lot.  I will be making this again.  

Amazing flavor in sauce. Some previous reviews complain of too much sauce makes dish runny or too sweet. Easy solution - put sauce in a separate dish and let people put on as much or as little as they want to their portion. This fruit salad is a game-changer!

This turned out too runny for me.  When I added the syrup to the fruit it was so sticky, the consistency of honey.  After a few hours on the fruit, it was completely water like and the orange/vanilla flavor couldn't be tasted.  Very disappointed in this one.  

This is the best fruit salad I've ever had! Everyone loves it!
