the ultimate fruit salad
Pineapple mint is great in all sorts of desserts, in antipasto, for marinating or with lamb. Try it chopped and sprinkled over ripe melon for a refreshing summer dessert.Place the sugar and a teacup of water in a saucepan and heat up. Stir until the sugar dissolves. For a fuller flavour, add half a bunch of whole pineapple mint stems to the hot syrup and leave to infuse until cool.
When the syrup has cooled down, remove the stems and add the peeled and chopped fruit. Chill well and add half a bunch of picked pineapple mint leaves.

This fruit salad is really addictive, I am enjoying this salad almost everyday as now is the season for fresh lychee. I think I will end this year's fresh lychee with recipe. Thanks Jamie for this savory recipe :)

Hi,
I am too in New Zealand and have never heard of Pineapple mint... If its not obtainable here what can be used in place of this?

You could try apple mint, seeing as pineapple mint is a cultivar of apple mint.

I'm wondering whether there is recipe similar to this that might be easier and could be an option for breakfast? I'm stuck for brekkie and i need something fresh and healthy.

Hi Jamie,
I'm from Surinam (South America), I love to watch your program, but sad to say most of the ingredients cannot be found here.
I would love to try out your recipies.
Can you help me ?
It would be great if those products can be imported.

Hi Jamie,
It´s a honor to be a Chef, and i've been working for that in the last years.
It´s a pleasure to see you on the Tv and I also said to my trainnes to whatching you and your program, because there are always lots of things to learn.
I hope if you came soon to Portugal that you came to visit me.
