Ging Ging's Fruit Pizza

Summer just isn't summer without Ging-Ging's (my grandmother) Fruit Pizza. Just one bite can take me back to my childhood. We would go over to my grandparent's house every Sunday for lunch and most summer holidays. We would swim all day, but when she came out of the back door onto the porch holding that fruit pizza, we would scramble out of that pool faster than lightning. I got the recipe from her shortly after I got married, and I will use any excuse to make it. It is a pretty simple recipe and the longest part is washing and slicing the fruit. I don't think I have ever taken it anywhere without being asked the recipe. So here goes!

1 package sugar cookie mix

8oz. cream cheese

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1. Mix sugar cookie mix according to directions (omit water if called for and use butter instead). Press into a 13inch pizza pan. (keep your fingertips wet to keep from sticking to you). Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Let cool.

3. Arrange the fruit however you please.

4. Mix 1 cup of orange juice with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1TB of cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a boil for 1 minute then let cool. Pour over pizza and refrigerate.
