Summer Fruit Salad with Whipped Cream

Step 1
Stir water, 5 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup raspberry-flavored liqueur, and lemon juice together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, frequently stirring, until sugar dissolves completely, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Step 2
Mix nectarines, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries in a large bowl. Pour cooled sugar mixture over fruit and toss gently to coat.

Step 3
Beat heavy whipping cream and 2 teaspoons sugar in a bowl with an electric hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Fold 1 teaspoon raspberry-flavored liqueur into whipped cream; spoon over fruit salad and sprinkle evenly with almonds.
