Why This Recipe Works
We wanted a recipe for fruit salad that would be more than simply a mix of fruits. In our Bahama Mama Fruit Salad recipe, we found that a simple sugar syrup not only added moisture, but also coaxed flavor from the fruit. Grated lime zest and dark rum boosted our Bahama Mama Fruit Salad’s flavor even further.
