Method
- 1
Put the sugar, water and lemon zest in a small pan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, simmer for 3 minutes, then take off the heat and cool completely.
3 min - 2
Cut the top and bottom off each orange, slice away the peel and pith, then cut out the segments over a bowl to catch the juice. Squeeze the leftover membrane into the bowl.
- 3
Add the peaches, apple, strawberries, grapes and kiwis to the bowl. Stir in the lemon juice at once so the apple stays pale.
- 4
Remove the zest from the cooled syrup and pour it over the fruit. Stir gently.

Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours. Scatter with the mint just before serving.
