MARINATED TROPICAL FRUITS

Makes about 3 cups

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 to 1 1/2 inch piece of vanilla bean
4 to 5 cups assorted cut fruit, in 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces
(papaya, kiwi, prickly pear, mango, or pineapple)
3 to 4 tablespoons Chartreuse, Strega, or Sambuca
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

 

Procedure:

Combine the sugar, water, and vanilla bean in a medium-sized saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, simmer for 5 minutes, and set aside to cool to room temperature. Add the liqueur and lemon juice. Remove the vanilla bean. Strain the syrup through a fine strainer over the fruit, cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
