SPANISH MACEDONIA TROPICAL FRUIT SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel the papaya, pineapple, chirimoya, and mango. Be sure to cut off the "eyes" of the pineapple and seed the chirimoya.
• Cut the papaya, pineapple, and mango into bite-size pieces and place in a ceramic mixing bowl.
• Rinse the strawberries and remove the leaves (hull), then cut each into 4 pieces and place in the same bowl with the other fruit.
• Juice the orange and lemon and pour over fruit. Drizzle honey over fruit and mix thoroughly. Place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until you are ready to serve.

MACEDONIA

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with 2 cups water and the lemon zest. Bring to a boil (BTB), then turn off the heat and let cool. (You have made simple syrup!) When the syrup is cool, remove the lemon zest.
• Transfer the syrup to a large mixing bowl, add the fruit, and mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour-the idea is to serve this COLD on a HOT summer day.
• Ladle the fruit into individual serving bowls and sprinkle with the mint.
• Nestle a scoop of lemon sorbet in each dish of fruit. Serve cold!
