Notes:

• Glace cherries may be added. I add them when I don’t have red fruits. Make sure you are using good-tasting glace cherries without syrup.
• Other popular fruit choices are pomegranate, papaya, pineapple.
• Seedless grapes of different colors may be used.
• Make sure all your fruits are sweet and not too sour. Always taste before you add them to your custard.
• 1-2 teaspoons of Chia seeds or Basil seeds soaked in water\ may be added if you like.
