Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoon honey,1 large lemon juice and zest, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk lightly to combine. Set aside and allow the ingredients to marry as you cut your fruit.
After cutting your fruit (1 cup red grapes, 1 cup green grapes, 2 large bananas, 2 large nectarines, 1 large mango, 3-4 kiwis, 3-4 mandarin oranges, ½ pineapple), add them all to a large serving bowl or mixing bowl.
Pour the honey fruit sauce over all the fruit and toss lightly until everything is thoroughly combined.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 2-4 hours, toss lightly once more before serving.
Notes
Add more honey as needed to thicken the sauce (or to taste), if desired.
You should have roughly 1-2 cups of each fruit type (if you prefer to buy cut fruit).
When making the fruit sauce, other citrus fruit juice, pineapple juice, and orange zest are also tasty and can be used in place of lemon.
