RECIPE BY Cooking Light

This fruit combo is refreshing by itself, and a serving offers about a day's worth of vitamin C. It can also top waffles or pound cake. Garnish with thinly sliced lime rind, if desired.

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime rind
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange rind
  • 1 1/2 cups orange sections (about 3 oranges)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled mango (about 1 mango)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled papaya (about 1 papaya)
