Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re planning ahead, you can prepare this Peach Berry Fruit Salad a few hours in advance. However, I recommend enjoying it within 1-2 hours of making it for the best texture and flavor. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. Just remember, the fruit is delicate and will start to soften, so it’s best enjoyed fresh!
