Fruit Pizza

I found this recipe many years ago

when I lived in the mountains of

British Columbia.

I fell in love with it!

I think the first time I made it I used

Kiwi, strawberries and cantaloupe.

Since then I've made it with halved

grapes and honey dew melons...

you can use any in season fruit

and it will be

delicious!

Here's the recipe.

Fruit Pizza

Crust

1 1/4 C flour

1/3 C brown sugar

3 TBSP icing sugar

2/3 C softened butter

Mix all 4 ingredients together in a bowl

until it forms a ball. Press on the bottom

of a regular sized pizza pan.

Bake 350' for about 10-15 minutes

or until golden brown. Cool.

Topping

1 package of cream cheese softened

1/2 C sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Beat all 3 ingredients together.

Spread over cooled cookie crust.

Arrange any kind of fruit you like

on top in a circle.

Glaze fruit using a prepared glaze or

make your own using:

1/4 C apricot Jam or Marmalade

mixed with 1 TBSP of water.

Mix well and rub through a sieve.

Brush all over the fruit.

Chill Fruit Pizza before cutting into wedges

with pizza cutter.

ENJOY!

Strawberry Season

Oh Goodness...

is there anything 

better than a ripe strawberry

picked fresh from the garden?!

It's

Strawberry 

Season

here on the farm.

Vintage Ironstone Bowl

Last year I planted nearly

75 

strawberry plants.

They multiplied.

I have no idea how many plants 

I have now but 

it's a sure thing that we'll

be eating lots of 

Strawberry Shortcake

and other

strawberry goodies

this season.

The freezer will be stocked

and there will be more

jam in the pantry!

While I picked...

my helpers were waiting

outside the garden fence.

This was one days picking.

The strawberries in the vintage ironstone bowl

in the top photos...

were picked the day after these.

And the season is JUST beginning!

I think I need to find more 

strawberry recipes

SO

if you have any favorites

please let me know...

I'd love to try them!

I never picked today

as it was chilly and windy

so tomorrow I will be back at it.

And hopefully I'll be back 

at painting the house too!
