Summer Abundance Fruit Salad

Ingredients

• 2 large peaches or nectarines
• 2 large plums or 3 small plums
• 1 pint blueberries
• 1 pint raspberries
• 2 cups seedless grapes
• 1/3 cup fresh mint leaves (about 1/3 c packed, 1 small handful)
• 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. 1

   Dice peach and plums into 1/2-inch size (approx. 1 cm).

2. 2

   Slice grapes in half lengthwise.

3. 3

   Finely mince the mint leaves.

4. 4

   Mix all the fruit and the mint leaves in a bowl with 3 Tbsp of sugar. Cover and set aside in refrigerator for at least an hour.

5. 5

   Just prior to serving, mix remaining 1 tbsp sugar and vanilla with the heavy cream, and whip until it holds soft peaks.

6. 6

   Mix the fruit thoroughly one more time, some of the raspberries will have macerated to juice, and that is deliciously fine!

7. 7

   Serve fruit in bowls or glasses (or paper cups if you want to).

8. 8

   Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream.
