  22. Let cool at least 15 minutes; serve warm, at room temperature or re-heated in the microwave.
  23. ***OTHERFILLINGS*** Most fruits can be used, so this is a great dessert to be made with seasonal fruits.
  24. Adjust sugar amount to sweetness or tartness of fruit but this is a good basic recipe.
  25. Other reccomended fruits are: nectarines, cherries, peaches, summer or winter pears, plums, apricots or apples.
  26. With drier fruits like apples and winter pears it is recommended to brush fruit with 2 tbs melted butter and sprinkle with 1-2 tbs sugar before cooking.
