Instructions

Make syrup
Boil the water with the sugar and add the lemon juice. Place aside to cool preferably in the refrigerator.

Prepare fruit
Prepare the fruit by removing peel, stones, pips, core, etc., and cut up into either slices (Salade des fruits) or dices (Macédoine des fruits). Start preparing the hard fruits such as apples first so that they have a chance to soften in the syrup. Prepare bananas last so that the risk of browning is kept to the minimum.

Carefully mix the fruit with the syrup.

Chill
Chill in the refrigerator.

Serve
