Fruit salad is a brunch staple, and the fruit in this one, marinated in a sweet and spicy syrup made from the famous German wine Riesling, is impressive. Reduce the wine with cinnamon, citrus zests, and sugar to intensify its flavor.

Test Kitchen Tip
Kumquats look like grape-sized oranges with a sweet rind and tart flesh that are eaten whole. Can’t find them? Substitute orange segments
Instructions
Combine Riesling, sugar, cinnamon, and zests in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil and reduce to ¼ cup liquid when strained, 25 minutes; discard solids.
Toss plums, pears, grapes, and kumquats with Riesling syrup. Cover salad and refrigerate no longer than 2 hours before serving.
Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain zests and cinnamon from the syrup to get an accurate ¼-cup measurement.
