Temperatures have been soaring in the midwest and I’ve been daydreaming of fried chicken, sweet tea and all the wonderful fresh fruit summertime brings with it.  I can’t wait to try this easy Paula Deen recipe my mom passed along for a tasty fruit tray with dip:

 

Ingredients:

• 2 whole pineapples
• 2 large clusters green seedless grapes
• 6 oranges, peeled and sliced into wheels
• 1 cantaloupe, cut into cubes or balled
• 24 long stemmed strawberries
• 6 to 8 kiwi, peeled and sliced
• 2 cups blueberries
• red leaf lettuce, to line your tray

French Cream:

• 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• pineapple juice

Directions:

Soften cream cheese and then whip with powdered sugar. Whip cream and sugar together until it forms soft peaks. Combine beaten cream cheese, whipped cream, lemon juice and zest; continue to beat, adding just enough pineapple juice to achieve desired consistency. Serve with fresh fruit tray or fruit salad.

I am ready for summer to hit the table!
