Summer Fruit Salad with Whipped Cream

Ingredients

• Dressing:
• 1/3 cup water
• 5 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/4 cup raspberry-flavored liqueur (such as Chambord)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Fruit Salad:
• 2 cups diced nectarines
• 1 cup pitted and halved sweet cherries
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Whipped Cream Topping:
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon raspberry-flavored liqueur (such as Chambord)
• 3 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds

Directions

Stir water, 5 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup raspberry-flavored liqueur, and lemon juice together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Mix nectarines, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries in a large bowl. Pour the cooled sugar mixture over the 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 the whipped cream; spoon over the fruit salad and sprinkle evenly with almonds.
