Notes:
- Glace cherries may be added. I add them when I don’t have red fruits. Make sure you are using good-tasting glace cherries without syrup.
- Other popular fruit choices are pomegranate, papaya, pineapple.
- Seedless grapes of different colors may be used.
- Make sure all your fruits are sweet and not too sour. Always taste before you add them to your custard.
- 1-2 teaspoons of Chia seeds or Basil seeds soaked in water\ may be added if you like.
- 3 Tbsp sugar makes the Custard mildly sweet. 4 Tbsp is sweeter. Add sugar to taste.
