Macerated Fruit

Macerated fruit is a simplistic way of extracting the natural juices with the addition of sugar and lemon juice. As the fruit sits, it softens and the juices naturally come out, creating a beautiful sauce that still clings on with the fruit. Try this as a topping on pancakes, yogurt parfaits and even in savory applications such as grilled chicken or fish.

7 ½ pounds of mixed fresh fruit (Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

1 ¼ cups of sugar

 ½ cup of fresh lemon juice

1. Place the fruit into a large non-reactive bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to coat evenly.
2. Allow to stand for 30 minutes up to an hour. Use immediately or place into a container with a lid until ready to serve.
