I found this recipe in a 1950s magazine. I tweaked it by adding orange marmalade, but you can use whatever preserves you like!

The Best Glazed Fruit Salad ready to be served.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

A delightful and refreshing fruit salad that tastes like summer. Thick and sweet, the glaze has citrus undertones. Lemon adds a touch of tanginess and balances out the sweetness. It's a wonderful base for a fruit salad using your favorite fruit. We added strawberries, but any melon, berry, or seasonal fruit can be included.

How To Make the best glazed fruit salad!

Test Kitchen Tips

We added about 1 cup of sliced strawberries.

Step 1

Drain pineapple and reserve all juice. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, corn starch, and reserved pineapple juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer till thickened.

Step 2

Remove from heat. Add the marmalade or preserves and the lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine all your fruit.
Step 4

I always squirt some lemon juice over my bananas before adding them so they don't get brown and yucky looking.
Step 5

Once the glaze is cool, pour the glaze over your fruit and toss gently to coat. Keep it in the fridge. It won't last long!
