I love this one. The layers make it look so inviting. A different taste in every bite. http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes.aspx鈥?/a>
Use whatever looks best at your local produce place. Berries are in season right now, so are peaches and nectarines. Some mango with those would be nice too. Drizzle some honey on top to make it really good.
