Fruit salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. My wife and I first tried this salad during a cruise on a ship along the Volga River. This seemingly simple fruit salad was served to us for breakfast. We really enjoyed its taste and found it unusual. Fortunately, we managed to find out from the chef that the salad's secret lies in a special sugar syrup made with white wine. We tried making it at home with fresh berries and fruits—indeed, it's much tastier this way. I'm happy to share it. Serve it at the table.
