Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preparation of Fruits: Combine the drained fruit cocktail, peaches, and pears in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix and place in the refrigerator to chill.
  2. Preparing the Spiced Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the reserved fruit syrups, sugar, water, M-K Whole Allspice, M-K Ground Cinnamon, M-K Whole Cloves, M-K Ground Nutmeg, and the slice of lemon.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 3 minutes.
  4. After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the syrup to remove the whole spices and lemon slice.
  5. Allow the spiced syrup to cool down to room temperature. Once it’s cooled, stir in the M-K Pure Vanilla Extract.
  6. Assembling the Fruit Cup: Take the chilled fruits out of the refrigerator and pour the cooled spiced syrup over them. Gently mix to ensure the fruits are well-coated with the syrup.
  7. Return the bowl to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve the Spiced Fruit Cup in individual bowls, ensuring each serving has a good mix of fruits and is well-drizzled with the spiced syrup.
  9. Enjoy this refreshing and aromatic fruit cup as a delightful start or finish to any meal!
