To assemble
Gather enough seasonal fruit so you have roughly a quarter cup of chopped fruit for your dessert. In September you’ll have your choice of wonderful stone fruit that’s in season such as plums, nectarines, and peaches that are nearing the end of their run, local grapes are a fun addition, and apples are plentiful.
1. Wash your fruit, and cut them right before serving your dessert to reduce oxidization and maximize their freshness
