Apricots and Strawberries

1/2 lb. apricots, sliced
1 pt. straw
berries, sliced
1 tbs. Cherry
preserves
1/3 c. orange
juice
Chiffoned fresh
mint leaves

Combine the fruit and preserves, and gently toss together. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then toss with the orange. Toss with the mint shortly before serving.
This could be a brunch fruit salad, or part of dessert, with a lemon pound cake, and some whipped cream--allowing for a healthy option, all the way up to an indulgent one. This is adapted from Martha Shulman's recipe, and while she advocates for cherries in place of strawberries and uses honey where I use some tart cherries.
