I've called this festive fruit salad, but it's actually good all though winter when these fruits are seasonal.
I like to have a light breakfast on Christmas morning to allow room for the rest of the day's feasting. This is the perfect light and fresh breakfast, with spiced syrup a dollop of yogurt and a glass of bubbles.
Simple and very versatile, it could also be served with my winter-spiced granola, on French toast, or topped over oats and porridge.
SERVES:
04-06

2/3 cup maple syrup
