Betty's Summertime Fruit Salad Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a gorgeous and flavorful Summertime Fruit Salad. The in-season fruits of peaches, blackberries, and bananas are used in this salad, and it is bound together with a tangy lemon sauce. Very Refreshing!

Ingredients:

3 medium-sized peaches, peeled and sliced
3 medium bananas, peeled and sliced
1 pint blackberries, washed and drained.
1/4 to 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed or reconstituted)
1/2 cup Splenda (or sugar)

Slice 3 peaches and 3 bananas into two separate bowls. Immediately cover each bowl of fruit with up to 1/4 cup of lemon juice to hold the color and freshness. Wash and drain 1 pint of blackberries into a separate bowl. Now, use a large bowl, and combine the 3 prepared fruits (including lemon juice). Add 1/2 cup Splenda or sugar. Stir gently, so that the blackberries will not bleed into the other fruits. When completely blended, pour the fruit mixture into a nice, clear serving bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve. This is a great salad for using seasonal fruits; it looks and tastes lovely!

Hi. I am not able to buy peaches right now. What would be a good replacement for them in this recipe ?

[bettyskitchen]

@XoxoXjenny You may use canned or frozen peaches. I would suggest nectarines or apricots, but if you can't get peaches, you probably can't get them.

This is a great recipe? Could you also use a bit of honey in place of the sugar?

@WaterBearer2008 Honey would be great for this fruit salad!

Hi Betty as an alternative to all that Splenda/Sugar I user juices such as OJ and/or Pineapple Juice(Not the concentrated ones) The juices blend fabolously with the chopped fruits, particularly if there are raspberries or strawberry's in the fruit salad. Love your work as always!
