Photo: Summer Fruit with Wine and Mint Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups dry white wine
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 ripe cantaloupe, halved, seeded, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
- 1 basket (8-ounce) fresh strawberries, quartered
- 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
Directions
Bring the wine and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Chop and combine the cantaloupe, strawberries, grapes, and mint in a large bowl. Pour the warm wine mixture over; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until cold, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours.
Transfer to the fruit mixture to a wide jar with a tight-fitting lid. Keep chilled.

This recipe is a family favorite we have served for ages -- especially good for hot, summer entertaining when you want something refreshing and easy. We make this with whatever fruit we have on hand and it is equally good served alone, over ice cream, or with angel food cake. My favorite fruit combination is to use mixed berries and watermelon.

My sister-in-law introduced this recipe to me 3 years ago. I loved it so much we served it at my wedding reception and it's been a regular Spring/Summer dish in my home ever since. It's incredibly simple. I usually make it the day before which allows the fruit to soak up more of the wine and mint flavors. It's always a favorite when I take it to share. I tend to add a bit more mint, grapes and strawberries to even things out a bit more. No need to buy an expensive wine for this recipe.

A friend made this when she hosted an "All Italian Weekend." Everyone swooned over this refreshing dessert. It's fresh, light, sweet even the second day! It's a keeper.
