Notes

  • Use ripe fruit: For the best flavor and texture, use firm but ripe and ready fruits. 
  • Use seasonal fruits: This is when the fruits are at their best.
  • Use organic fruits if possible: To limit your pesticide and chemical exposure and for the tastiest fruits.
  • Add some crunch: Texture and contrast is key in this dish. Check out the topping ideas above for my suggestions.
  • Rotate your fruits: To keep the recipe interesting, switch up the fruit.
