Ingredients

6 cups assorted fresh fruits; cubed cantaloupe or pineapple, sliced strawberries, kiwi, or banana, whole blackberries, blueberries, raspberries

sectioned oranges or tangerines

1/2 cup jam, your favorite flavor

3 cups purchased angel food cake, cut into 1 inch cubes

Let’s Start filling cups!

Preheat oven to broil. Line a sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

1)  Place cubed angel food cake on sheet pan, put in oven and broil 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Toss cubes to expose other side and broil 1 more minute. Remove from oven and cool on sheet pan.

2) Heat jam over low heat in a small saucepan until warm. Remove from heat and pour into a small pitcher.

3) Create a “Fresh Fruit Bar” by setting out small serving bowls filled with each of the different fruits. Set out wooden skewers so kids can “skewer” fruits of choice. Place fruits inside each cup, drizzle with a little jam syrup, and top with toasted angel food cake croutons.
