Stained Glass Fruit Salad

Stained Glass Fruit Salad, fresh pineapple chunks, fresh strawberry slices, and fresh blueberries tossed all together in a strawberry pie filling, homemade or canned.    Light and fresh...who says it can't be for dessert!   The vibrant color of this salad makes it incredibly inviting.  It is perfect for brunch, potlucks, and family gatherings.  You can serve it at room temperature or chilled, making it easy to transport anywhere. The night before any celebration we are having.  I make Stained Glass Fruit Salad.  I like  another quick fruit salad  I made from childhood using canned fruit, but this is our favorite. I try to use fresh fruit as much as I can.  Especially now when the strawberries, pineapples, and blueberries are in season. We have some who are a fan of bananas in this salad, so we leave them out, but feel free to add them along with any other fresh fruit.  I think kiwi, grapes, or peaches would be another delicious...

Fresh Vanilla Peach Slab Pie

Fresh Vanilla Peach Slab Pie,   fresh juicy peaches in a buttery lattice crust, baked in a rimmed baking sheet pan.  Easy to serve and perfect for a large crowd.   Here in Texas, peach season is in full swing.  The peaches are lovely in the grocery stores, but for our peaches, we like to get them at a local peach orchard in a little town close to us.   They have several varieties, but our favorite is Alberta's. They are not ready yet, so we get another variety.  They are sweet, juicy, and the best part, they are freestone.
