Kiwi in syrup

To prepare a refreshing and flavorful dessert, we start by peeling the four kiwis. We remove the skin using a sharp knife, being careful not to lose the juicy flesh. Then, we cut each kiwi into quarters, creating attractive pieces filled with vibrant green color. They not only look good but also have a sweet-tart taste, perfect for enjoying on hot summer days.

After cutting the kiwis, we turn our attention to a medium bowl where we will combine the ingredients. We sprinkle sugar over the kiwis, making sure that each piece is evenly coated. The sugar will help draw out the juices from the kiwis, creating a delicious natural syrup. Then, we squeeze in the juice of freshly squeezed lemon, being careful to avoid the seeds that could ruin the texture of the dish. The lemon juice adds a note of freshness and a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the kiwi.

We gently mix the kiwis, sugar, and lemon juice with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to crush the fruit pieces. We want to maintain the crunchy texture of the kiwi. After mixing, we let the mixture rest for about 10-15 minutes. During this time, the sugar will dissolve and form a syrup that will coat each piece of kiwi, enhancing its flavor.

To add a touch of elegance, we can decorate the dish with thin slices of lemon placed on top. Besides the attractive appearance, this detail will also provide an additional aroma, making the dish more appetizing. After the resting time has passed, we can serve the kiwi in a bowl or dessert glass, optionally adding a few fresh mint leaves for an extra splash of color and flavor. This simple yet delicious dessert is sure to please everyone, making it a perfect choice to cool down on a summer day. Enjoy it with friends or family, savoring every bite!
