Ingredients
1-in. piece ginger, peeled
1/4 cup fresh mint
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 pineapple, peeled
1 cantaloupe, peeled
1 pink grapefruit, peeled
1 pint strawberries, hulled
Instructions
Thinly slice ginger. Place ginger, mint, sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, without stirring, until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain, then cool at room temperature or in refrigerator. Slice fruit into small pieces and arrange on a platter. Drizzle about 3 tbsp (45 mL) syrup over fruit just before serving. Serve extra in a pitcher for guests to help themselves.

All it takes to turn a fruit platter from drab to fab is a drizzle of our easy ginger-and-mint-infused syrup. It adds a sophisticated touch.
Easy Ginger-Mint Fizz
Our syrup makes a delicious drink. Pour a couple of tablespoons (30 mL) undiluted syrup into a glass. Fill with ice, then top with sparkling water. Add a squeeze of lime, if you wish.
Make Ahead
Make syrup and refrigerate in a sealed jar up to 1 week. Prepare fruit up to 1 day ahead and store in the refrigerator in resealable plastic bags. Bring to room temperature before serving.
