Fruit Desserts for Summer
This is the perfect time of year to enjoy a variety of fruit. It is still possible to find strawberries; peaches are in season now, and blackberries and blueberries are not far behind. There are numerous ways to serve all of these fruits; we have included some of our ideas in previous columns. Some relatively simple ways to highlight the taste of fresh fruit are in sorbets or ice cream - we use peaches in today's recipes. Zabaglione is another easy accompaniment for any type of berry, or even better, a combination of berries. It is good served either warm or cold. For something more complicated, the strawberry tart from Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Alfred A. Knopf, 1961) is worth the effort. It's almost too pretty to eat.
