Preparation
|
Cut the peel from the orange with a vegetable peeler, making sure there is no white pith. Juice the orange.
Bring the orange juice, orange peel, wine, honey, vanilla bean, and ginger to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and discard the orange peel, vanilla bean, and ginger slices. Let cool for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the blackberries, grapes, cherries, nectarines, and plums in a bowl. Pour the wine syrup over the fruit and refrigerate for 20 minutes to chill the fruit. Stir gently just until mixed.
To serve, spoon the fruit into bowls and pour the sauce over the top.
