“Also known as fruit pizza. You can vary the fruit that you top it with, so don’t be confined by the fruits listed in the recipe. Use whatever fresh fruit is in season. Top with warmed complimentary flavored jelly if desired. There is lots of room to be creative, so don’t be afraid to experiment.” – Calla Ferre
