Ingredients

425g can lychees in syrup

2stems lemongrass , halved and bashed with a rolling pin

85g golden caster sugar

2 x cans fresh mixed tropical fruit

100g seedless red grape

6 macaroons or coconut biscuits, to serve

Method

Drain the lychees juice into a pan and put the lychees in a large serving bowl. Add the lemongrass and sugar to the pan, heat gently until the sugar dissolves, then boil for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and set aside – the lemongrass will add flavour as it cools.

Strain the syrup over the lychees and tip in the fruits. Chill. Serve with macaroons.
