At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

Delicious Lemon Poppyseed Glazed Fruit Salad

This lemon poppyseed glazed fruit salad is the perfect light and refreshing summer dessert – it is sweetened with a light sugar glaze, and topped with crunchy poppyseeds for a dessert fruit salad everyone loves.

This fruit salad is perfect for picnics, bbqs, easy weeknight dinners, or baby showers – its pretty, simple, and takes less than five minutes to make.

To serve this light fruit salad in hot summer months, you don’t have to worry too much about temperature since we’re not using milk – making it a little safer to serve outdoors or times you might have a hard time keeping a food safe temperature.

This salad is great chilled – and can last in your fridge for up to three days after (depending on the quality of your fruit).

How to make Lemon Poppyseed Fruit Glaze

This fresh and delicious fruit salad gets an extra kick of flavor from a simple lemon poppyseed glaze.

This glaze is delicious on fruit – and perfect for summer fruit salads!

It comes together in seconds, and even works on angel food cake or cupcakes.

To make this glaze, mix the ingredients in a small bowl:

  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds

To store leftover fruit glaze, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

If glaze is too thick, thin with more lemon juice.

For thicker glaze, stir in more powdered sugar. ‘

Depending on the amount of moisture in the air, and your powdered sugar, you might need to add a little more juice or powdered sugar to get to the desired consistency.
