With all the fresh fruits and berries coming into the marketplace, now is the time to enjoy them as often as is possible! And for the busy cook selecting the freshest produce at the market or from your own garden is the easiest way to get a delicious meal on the table fast.
This Fresh Fruit Platter with Lemon Creme Syrup is a good choice, beautiful to look at, and the best part is that it tastes great. Pears and raspberries go splendidly together, but trust me, you will not want to stop there. Nectarines and blueberries are just as wonderful How about plums and raspberries? Or peaches and a medley of berries scattered over the top. So I urge you...
Please don't stop with pears and raspberries...
Pears and raspberries were simply at the market the day I took the photos! As crops come out of the fields and orchards, market inventories will change. And so can this simple and healthy dessert. Fresh Fruit Platter with Lemon Creme Syrup is also delicious when made with melon and berries. Or kiwi and berries. There is no hard and fast rule for this easy going dessert platter. If you and yours enjoy it together, offer it!
We often prefer a lighter offering for dessert after working or playing all day. And this fruit platter is perfect! The Lemon Creme Syrup makes enough to drizzle over the platter, with the rest offered at the table for those that wish a little bit more over their own serving.
I think the different combinations of fresh fruit and berries to enjoy are endless. But for those wishing to serve a simple cookie alongside, try these Whole Grain Quick and Easy Sugar Cookies, you can't go wrong with this combo!
