This recipe is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it the night before and it will be even better the next day.

I've made this recipe with both fresh and frozen fruit and it's always delicious. I prefer to use fresh fruit when it's in season, but frozen fruit is a great option when fresh fruit isn't available.

I love the versatility of this recipe. You can use any type of fruit you like and you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. I also like to add a little bit of chopped mint or basil for a refreshing twist.
