put the rest of the sugar with the water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring till the sugar is dissolved. add chiles, return to boil, and simmer for 5 minutes. remove from heat and let infuse for 30 minutes.
remove chiles and pour syrup over the fruit, stirring gently to blend. serve decorated with a few fresh basil sprigs if desired, and a few slivers of the syrupy chiles.
