Note

For best results, use ripe, in-season fruits for maximum flavor and sweetness.

You can substitute maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or chocolate syrup for different flavor profiles.

Prepare the fruit up to 2 hours in advance, but cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.

If using bananas or apples, toss them lightly with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.

This platter is best served immediately after preparation to maintain the crisp texture of the fruit.
