Is there anything better on a hot summer day than the flavors of fresh peaches, berries, or cherries?
I have some ideas if you have more fresh fruit than you can eat out of hand or give away. Check out ten of my favorite recipes for all kinds of fresh fruit. These are sure to make any celebration more memorable.
Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe with Jello in the Glaze
This recipe for Fresh Strawberry Pie makes a not-too-sweet fruit dessert formulated for maximum enjoyment of fresh strawberries. The easy pat-in-the-pan crust takes it over the top.
This blackberry cobbler makes the perfect amount for 2-3 people. After you make it a time or two, you won’t need a recipe–it’s that simple. Eat it with yogurt, whipped cream, or ice cream. p.s. Don’t limit yourself to blackberries. This is good with mixed fruit, peaches, and blueberries, too.
This cool and refreshing treat is a culinary masterpiece, kissed by the delicate essence of vanilla bean (or vanilla extract) and the zesty allure of lemon. It’s the ultimate sweet finish for any occasion, whether you’ve just savored a hearty meal or you’re hosting a ladies luncheon.
Fresh Mini Strawberry Tarts with Shortbread Crusts
Homemade shortbread cookie crusts are filled with sliced, fresh strawberries held together with a shiny easy-to-make glaze. Easy to serve and even easier to eat.
Which of these recipes is best to bake when it’s hot outside?
I recommend no-bake pies such as the fresh strawberry pie or the nectarine pie. The filling is cooked in the microwave, but there’s no need to turn on your oven. However, they will need refrigeration.
Another idea: The Easy Vanilla Posset with lemon must be cooked on the stove for a few minutes. Then it goes into the refrigerator. It’s as refreshing as ice cream but a lot less trouble.
Which of these desserts can I store at room temperature?
Most fruits need to be stored in the refrigerator after baking. In this collection, the blackberry cobbler will keep the longest without chilling since there are no eggs. This would make a good dessert to carry to a picnic or reunion.
What is the easiest dessert for fresh fruit?
I vote for a bowl of yogurt covered with fresh fruit. Whipped cream or granola is optional.
