Prep 10 min · Total 30 min · Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 large white nectarines, cut into edible sized chunks, pit and stem removed
- About 8 to 10 fresh strawberries, stems removed, quartered
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 leaves fresh mint, thinly sliced
Directions
- In a medium bowl, carefully combine the chopped nectarines and strawberries with the honey and lemon juice. Set the bowl aside for 15-20 minutes, giving the fruit time to release its juices.
- Just before you bring it to the table, fold in the thinly sliced fresh mint.
- Take a bite and check the balance. If it tastes sharper than you like, add a light sprinkle of sugar. If it leans overly sweet, add a little more lemon juice. The exact balance will depend on the fruit you started with, so adjust it to suit what is in the bowl.
