Full of wonderful summer-fresh flavour, this salad is delicious served with berry sherbet, vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. If you can't find some of these fruits, increase the remaining varieties accordingly.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp coarsely  grated orange rind
  • 1/2 cup black currants, topped and tailed
  • 1-1/2 cups blackberries or black raspberries
  • 1-1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1-1/2 cups sweet cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 cup stemmed red currants

Preparation

In saucepan, combine sugar, water, orange juice and rind; bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3 minutes.
