My mom always made this dessert during the height of summer, when the variety of fresh fruit was abundant. It's colorful and perfect for a backyard BBQ or special occasion. My favorite fruit toppings are nectarine or peach slices, kiwis, grapes and any berries. Tip: If you're pressed for time, use pre-made sugar cookie dough for the crust. Enjoy this delicious treat!
