Pretty and Sweet

When the family and extended family used to meet for Sunday dinners at my grandparent's house this was always one of my grandmother's must-have on hand desserts. By the end of the night there was never any left for take home bags.

I hope you will take some time this week to make this simple, somewhat nutritious fruit dessert.
