FRESH FRUIT DESSERTS
These refreshing, simple desserts are easy to prepare and, in the summer, they won’t heat your kitchen. All that’s required is some slicing and dicing, most of which can be accomplished in advance of your dinner. They will succeed based entirely on your choice of fresh, ripe fruit, so make the best seasonal selection that you can. Serve, if you like, with cookies or biscotti, either purchased or home made. (If guests ask to bring something, cookies are a good option. Guests can pick them up at the last minute or, if they have culinary inclinations, display their baking prowess.)
