Summer Fruit Salad with Whipped Cream

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup water
• 5 tablespoons white sugar
• 0.25 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
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon raspberry-flavored liqueur (such as Chambord®)
• 3 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds

Steps

1. 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.
2. Mix nectarines, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries in a large bowl. Pour cooled sugar mixture over fruit and toss gently to coat.
3. 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.
