Fruit Fool

NOTE: Fools are made with fruit that has been cooked until quite tender and then mashed into a chunky puree. The stewed fruit mixture (which is sweetened and may contain flavorings) is chilled and then layered in bowls or goblets with fresh whipped cream. This recipe works well with berries, pitted cherries, or peeled and sliced stone fruits or rhubarb. Serves four to six.

  4    cups berries or other prepared fruit (see note above)

  ¹/₄–¹/₂    cup sugar

  2    cups Perfect Whipped Cream (see )
