Fruit is truly nature’s candy and I am a self-proclaimed fruit addict. I have a huge sweet tooth and for that reason I choose to limit the amount of dessert type foods I keep in the house. Cookies don’t last a chance in the Lee household!

Instead, I buy fruit in bulk and usually Costco has really great organic choices. So, instead of eating cookie after cookie, it’s strawberry after strawberry. Still getting my fair share of sugar, but not nearly as bad. Plus, there’s all of those vitamins and antioxidants. 🙂

Forget the crusty cobbler and cup of sugar- when fruit is roasted, the flesh softens and the natural sugars caramelize, creating an added layer of flavor that is reminiscent of the fruit in a deep-dish pie. Almost any kind of fruit in season can be thrown together and roasted for an absolutely irresistible, but still nutritious dessert.
