Spring is Here!!

Spring is here and I have been waking up to the birds chirping outside my window and falling asleep to the frogs croaking. Browsing the food blogs and noticing everyone is using all the fresh fruit that spring has to offer, got me scouring my recipe books to find more goodies made with more fresh fruit. I know it's a good excuse to get me to eat more fruit, not necessarily more desserts with fruit in them. Here are a few berries and fruits I am going to try to incorporate in my dessert blog.

A Strawberry Shortcake with Real Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream.

Strawberry Freezer Jam

A Blueberry "slump"

Blueberry Lemon Tart

The Classic Peach Cobbler

Fresh Peach Ice Cream

Mixed Berry Tarts

Mixed Berry Cheesecake with Raspberry curd

I hope you enjoyed this little "hint" of spring. I am excited to get started and I will be picking up some fruit tonight.

Visit your local Farmers market and get some of your own ideas for using your favorite Spring fruit, they have a lot to offer.

Happy Spring, everyone!
