Easy dessert recipe...had to share!

Yesterday I was reading my Real Simple magazine and found a great easy dessert recipe. The recipe called for raspberries and peaches, but I modified it with strawberries and nectarines. I should have taken a picture because it turned out so pretty.

Ingredients:

1 cup Strawberries
1 Nectarine
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Vanilla Ice Cream

Cut the strawberries and nectarines into small pieces. Combine the fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let it sit (preferably refrigerated) for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes you mix it once again. Add to vanilla ice cream and you're done!

***I modified this by making it more of a layered parfait...ice cream, fruit, ice cream, fruit...you get the idea. It looks really pretty in a clear glass, and of course tastes even better with whipped cream! The fruit concoction would also taste good on things like pancakes or waffles too!
