I had never thought of storing blueberries, destined for topping yogurt, in a flavored simple syrup. Then I watched our good friend Anthony Goncalves' team putting together yogurt parfaits for an event. I actually thought they were pulling the berries out of water, which I thought was washing the fruit. I was puzzled at first. I asked about the wet fruit and was corrected on my assumption. The water was a simple syrup flavored with cinnamon and orange zest. The syrup coated the berries and dressed the fresh fruit with a flavorful accent. The simplicity of the idea has me asking what other fruits and vegetables we should be lightly dressing.
