Macerating fruit doesn’t require much effort, but it can produce a little bit of culinary magic. Simply combining fruit with sugar and letting it mingle for awhile transforms the juices into a simple and sweet syrupy sauce. And when served over pound cake where it can soak into the bread, it becomes a wonderful quick dessert. In this recipe, we’ve used a mix of fresh fruits, but you can use whatever combination you like or what’s in season. You can also use 4 cups of precut fruit from the supermarket salad bar or produce section to make this recipe super easy.
