Peaches and Berries with Lemon-Mint Syrup

Juicy peaches, fresh berries, and a hint of mint make this summer fruit salad a refreshing change of pace from the ordinary!
This recipe comes from my friend Stacy, who loves to cook and entertain. It’s elegant, refreshing, and perfect for summer gatherings. The key is to start with perfectly ripe summer peaches, then add sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, blueberries, and fresh mint. Let the fruit soak up the syrup for a few hours, and add the delicate raspberries and blackberries just before serving. It’s delicious on its own but also pairs wonderfully with pound cake or vanilla ice cream—it even makes an excellent stand-in for strawberries in strawberry shortcake!

This is the perfect summertime dessert! I just made it this weekend and brought it to a dinner party…serve with vanilla gelato or sorbet…and use plenty of mint. Everyone loved it…a total winner!
Yummy!!! The flavors were great together and the mint was incredible!
This is simply delicious. Everyone loves the unexpected additions of sweet, sour, and fresh mint. Can use honey as an alternative sweetener. I have served it in a cut glass bowl given to me as a wedding gift by my aunt, and it looks so pretty on the table! Thanks for your inspiration, I love your recipes and stories.
I’ve made this with nectarines (which I prefer over peaches) and it was amazing. Be sure to wait to add the raspberries and blackberries until the end and then very gently toss to keep all of the fruit looking pretty.
This with freshly picked, straight-off-the-trees peaches and blueberries that have been growing and sweetening in the sun (I have to blanch the peach skins off though, it’s how I was raised, it’s a neurosis) … with some pound cake and vanilla bean ice cream … so simple, yet so good.
There are nothing bad in your blog,and I like them so much,hope better in the future,and your life will be better,too.and good things need to share,so I want to introduce my website to you,if you are free,see it,thanks.
This is delicious! One of my favorite good-for-you treats! Thanks!!
What a delight! I get lazy about eating fruit, and this is just the incentive I need. The mint lends a lovely kick. Love it! My husband loves it too.
I made this fruit salad for the 4th and served it with vanilla ice cream. WOW, was it good! Such a nice change…thanks!
I just love fruit salads with mint syrup. I bet it’s great with peaches. I really enjoy a fruit salad with lots of watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe; the mint syrup goes really well with melon. Great picture, it looks so good!
