Author's Notes:
This is just about the ideal way to use up any fresh fruit you have
lying around. I got the recipe from my mom.
Any fresh fruit in season will do; I've made peach, nectarine, and
strawberry/banana, all to good effect. Scheduling usually works out well
if you make this shortly before serving the meal, and let it cool while
you eat.
Difficulty : easy.
Precision : approximate measurement OK.
