Basil Infused Grilled Fruit Salad

Directions

Combine the water and sugar and salt in a small saucepan and cook until the mixture is clear and syrupy looking, about 5 minutes. Off the heat, add 8 basil leaves and allow them to steep for 10 minutes. Strain the liquid and set aside.

Combine the lime juice and honey and set aside.

Preheat the grill.

Place the fruithalves, cut side down, directly on the grill and brush with the lime mixture. Allow the fruit to cook until a few char marks appear. Transfer the fruit to a cutting board and cut into slices. Combine the slices in a bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of the syrup.

Transfer the fruit mixture to individual fruit cups. Pour some of the syrup into each cup and garnish with a basil leaf.
