Fresh Fruit

Method

Preparing the Bacon

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the thick sliced applewood smoked bacon to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until it reaches your desired crispiness.

  2. 2

    Drain Excess Fat

    Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

Preparing the Fresh Fruit

  1. 3

    Wash the Fruit

    Rinse the strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Honeydew and Pineapple

    Cut the honeydew melon and pineapple into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 5

    Combine the Fruit

    In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, blueberries, honeydew melon, and pineapple. Gently toss the fruit together.

  4. 6

    Garnish with Mint

    Chop the mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the fruit mixture. Toss gently to incorporate.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the crispy bacon slices alongside the fresh fruit mixture. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
