Personal Notes:
These were served at Brookside and very very popular. We used whatever fruit was in season but strawberries were the most popular. When ready to serve, put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the well that you created. Pour strawberries or fruit that has been cut into small pieces and mixed with sugar to your liking. Serve also if you like with a bit of whipped cream on top of the fruit. ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!
