Summer Fruit Salad with Whipped Cream

Salad

This fruit salad with whipped cream topping can be made four hours ahead if chilled and covered. You can substitute Grand Marnier for Chambord, or use raspberry extract.

Ingredients

⅓ cup water
5 tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup raspberry-flavored liqueur (such as Chambord®)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups diced nectarines
1 cup pitted and halved sweet cherries
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon raspberry-flavored liqueur (such as Chambord®)
3 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds

Description

Stir water, 5 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup raspberry-flavored liqueur, and lemon juice together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, frequently stirring, until sugar dissolves completely, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Mix nectarines, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries in a large bowl. Pour cooled sugar mixture over fruit and toss gently to coat.
Beat heavy whipping cream and 2 teaspoons sugar in a bowl with an electric hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 teaspoon raspberry-flavored liqueur into whipped cream; spoon over fruit salad and sprinkle evenly with almonds.
