This is the Pioneer Woman's fruit salad and it is spectacular!
Place the sugar, 1 cup of water, orange juice and vanilla bean in a small pan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Then bring it to a boil. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until it thickens up. Set aside to cool.
Prepare all the fruit in a large bowl. Pout the cooled syrup over the top and toss it all together. Decorate with the mint leaves and keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve!
