Fruit Supreme With Pink Champagne

"At the Camelback Inn, in the Arizona desert, they begin an impressive Yuletide dinner with this beautiful array of fruits; Pink Champagne poured over all just before being served. You don't need to wait for Christmas to try this, and you can make this even on an ordinary day and make it special."

  1. WOW-this made a delightful dessert-and so pretty in my MIL's champagne coupes! I served the little ones the fruit w/ raspberry sherbet (and no champagne) and they said it reminded them of the candy-Sweet Tarts! The flavors give your taste buds something to think about and all of us loved it! I did not use dates. Thank you, Fluffster, for a great recipe!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
