Fruit treats

Last week we had a meeting at church for the women to socialize. We are always so busy on Sunday's that there isn't much time for chatting. We made the refreshments fruit-themed. Three of us were the hosts. One brought delicious chocolate dipped strawberries (I may have had quite a few of those). One brought a fruit torte. Just delicious. I brought fruit pizza or watermelon pizza.
I have good friends. They arranged the table to look nice. Because she had extra chocolate, we also had dipped pretzels. And because I had extra fruit, we had fruit for those who didn't want sweets.

The watermelon or fruit pizza is something I am starting to see in various food places. (Sorry the lighting isn't very good)
 It was fairly easy to make and a hit. It can be made with or without whipped cream. This time, it was with. For this evening, the recipe was:

1. Slice the watermelon into rounds. Then slice those into wedges-with the rind still attached.
2. Top each slice with whipped cream if using it.
3. Chop strawberries and bananas into bite-sized pieces.
4. Spread chopped strawberries, bananas, and blueberries on top of the whipped cream.
5. Top with more whipped cream and serve.

You can use any combination of fruits to top the watermelon. The whipped cream helps keep the fruit topping from rolling off. There were a few errant berries in spite of the cream.

We all had fun and people enjoyed our fruit-themed refreshments. What more can you ask for?
