When I come across fresh fruit at it’s peak - I just want to look at it for a really long time.  I’m almost afraid to do anything to change it’s natural beauty.  I bought some fresh berries and peaches last week, fully intending to use them in some delectable baked dessert - but I couldn’t bring myself to alter them.  So I hunted for a light fruit dressing. 

It took a LONG time, but I found the perfect finishing touch for fresh fruit.  It is lightly sweet, the faintest hint of orange, and it allows your arrangement of fruit to really shine.  I really enjoy the fact that it doesn’t “set-up” like standard gelatin or pie glazes often do.  My mouth waters just looking at the pictures again!

I found this on allrecipes.com...  and it’s one I plan to keep in the refrigerator all summer long.

Ingredients:

4-1/2 tsp all-purpose flour

1 (6-oz) can pineapple juice

1/3 cup white sugar

1/3 cup orange juice concentrate

2 Tbs honey

2 Tbs lemon juice

Assorted fresh fruit

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine the first seven ingredients.  Bring to a boil.  Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.  Cool.  Serve over fruit.  Leftover dressing may be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
