Fruit in a Jar

Ingredients

1 cup orange juice
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups fresh fruit, cut into bite-sized pieces (watermelon, cantaloupe, seedless grapes, kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries)

Preparation

In a large sealable jar, combine orange juice, sugar and vanilla. Pour syrup in covered jar and shake until sugar is dissolved. Add fruit, cover and refrigerate overnight before serving.

Can be made up to 2 days in advance. (Glenda says she makes large batches of this in a gallon jar when expecting guests, using a ladle and punch cups for serving.)
