Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 large lemon

1 vanilla bean

3/4 cup sugar

4 cups mixed fresh fruit

 

 

With vegetable peeler, remove 1-inch wide continuous strip of peel from lemon.

You can also use a zester and remove the rind from one lemon. Squeeze enough

juice from the lemon to make 1/4 cup and set aside.

 

Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise in half; spread pod open. Carefully scrape the

seeds from the inside of the vanilla bean; reserve both the seeds and the pod.

 

Over high heat, in a 1-quart saucepan, heat the peel, vanilla bean pod, vanilla

seeds, sugar and 3/4 cup water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, uncovered

for 5 minutes or until syrup is lightly thickened. Remove bean pod and lemon

peel.

 

Pour syrup into a small bowl, stir in lemon juice.

 

Refrigerate for about 2 hours.

 

Place fruit in a large bowl; toss with syrup.
