About this recipe

This festive apple and fruits in syrup salad is a dish that reminds me of the Christmases of my childhood. My grandmother always prepared it, and its aroma flooded the house, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. It was the perfect side dish for turkey, and although simple, it was always the star of the sweet table. The apples, preferably Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, provide an acidic and crunchy touch that contrasts wonderfully with the sweetness of the syrup. The carrots, finely grated, add a crunchy texture and a subtle earthy sweetness. The fruits in syrup, peaches and pineapple, are the heart of this salad, providing juiciness and a sweet and tropical flavor. The cherries in syrup, with their intense red color, are the final touch, an ornament that announces the party. The nuts, lightly toasted, offer a crunchy contrast and a nutty flavor that perfectly complements the rest of the ingredients. The raisins, previously soaked in rum or brandy (optional), provide a touch of warmth and a concentrated sweetness. The whole cream and condensed milk create a rich and creamy dressing that brings all the flavors together. To prepare the dressing in the Thermomix®, it is important that the cream is very cold so that it whips better. If you want a lighter texture, you can replace part of the whole cream with natural Greek yogurt. When grating the carrots, be careful not to exceed the indicated time, as they could become too soft. If you don't have a Thermomix®, you can grate them by hand with a coarse grater. When chopping the apples, sprinkle them with a little lemon juice to prevent them from oxidizing and turning brown. If you want a vegetarian version, make sure that the condensed milk does not contain gelatin. For a vegan version, you can replace the whole cream with vegetable cream and the condensed milk with coconut or rice condensed milk. You can add other fruits to the salad, such as grapes, mandarins or kiwi. To give it a more spicy touch, you can add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg or grated ginger to the dressing. This salad is perfect to accompany roasted meats, such as turkey, pork or chicken. You can also serve it as a dessert, accompanied by cookies or cake. For a more elegant presentation, serve it in individual glasses and decorate each portion with a cherry in syrup and some chopped nuts. The salad can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2 days. In fact, it is best to prepare it a few hours in advance so that the flavors mix and intensify. Before serving, stir well so that all the ingredients are well integrated.
