We just finished up the Girl’s week of Ag Adventure Camp and one of the foods they made was Fruit Pizza. Not only was this a hit for the girls, it also got rave reviews from the volunteer staff. The Fruit Pizza boasts a sweet, crumbly crust, a slightly-sweet, creamy filling and is topped with the freshest fruits of the season. Since we live on the Central Coast Strawberries are a must!
The recipe is super easy – so easy we made it in a barn!
