Minty Fruit with Wine

The fruit season is here! This is an elegant and creative way to serve fruit. I love to serve this for breakfast or after dinner with some coffee. The white wine and fresh mint in this dish will fill your kitchen with wonderful aroma.

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups dry white wine
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cantaloupe, cut into cubes
  • 8 ounce fresh strawberries, sliced in halves
  • 1 cup green grapes, halved lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Directions:
  1. Combine the wine and sugar in a small saucepan. Boil for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare the cataloupe, strawberries, grapes, and mint then combine in a large bowl. Pour the warm wine mixture over and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
