Later this month I am going to FoodBlogSouth 2013. I am so EXCITED!!!! I can’t wait to meet new people, learn new blogging techniques, and find new awesome recipes/flavor combinations. Are you going too?
One of the best things about meeting new people is being introduced to their family recipes. Over Christmas I met Kelsey B. She and her sisters brought a beautiful fruit pizza to our family Christmas dinner. It was such a hit that it nearly disappeared off the platter. The presentation was gorgeous. The bright, colorful fruit was so inviting and refreshing after a heavy Southern meal. It would be perfect for baby showers, wedding showers, work events, family reunions, etc.
Fruit Pizza with Sugar Cookie Crust
- 1 package of refridgerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup strawberry jelly (lump free for easy spreading)
- Seasonal fruit (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, kiwi, etc)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a greased cookie sheet, spread out the cookie dough evenly. Bake about 14 minutes or until cookies are done. Cool completely. Spread the cream cheese evenly over the cookie crust. Spoon and gently spread jelly over cream cheese. Top with fruit (do not use bananas, apples, or pears as they brown over time). Refrigerate for storage.

Oooh those blackberries look delicious.
I can’t wait to make this in summer when all the fruit is peak season!
I had a friend that used to make this and it really is good.
Yum!!!
