Heat honey, lemon juice, zest, 2 tablespoons sherry, and cinnamon over medium heat until combined and it makes a syrup. Soak dried fruit in remaining sherry for 15 minutes to plump them up. Drain. Mix grapes, bananas, strawberries, peaches, blackberries, and dried fruit. Pour syrup over fruit and mix to glaze the fruit. Notes: This uses frozen fruit for part of the salad. When fruit is in season you can go with the fresh. I would avoid canned because of the tinny taste. Makes 6 servings. |
