Fruit Pizza

I used to help my mother make this dessert to add to the perfect Fourth of July BBQ. It's fresh, light, and goes perfect outside! YUMMM! You could also make the argument that it is perfectly healthy...with all that delicious fresh fruit!

Crust:
1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 TBSP evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Filling:
1 8-oz package cream cheese
2 TBSP evaporated milk
1 TBSP lemon juice

Glaze:
1/3 cup clear jelly
1-2 TBSP hot water

Cream the softened margarine, sugar, and eggs. Mix in other crust ingredients and spread onto a greased 13" pizza pan. Bake at 350' for 7-8 minutes or until golden. Cool, then top with cream cheese filling (if you don't like the cream cheese taste, you can use whipped cream) and your choice of fresh fruits (I like to use kiwi, strawberry, pineapple, and blueberries). For the glaze, heat jelly and thin with a little water. Drizzle just enough glaze over the pizza to keep fruit from browning. Keep refrigerated.

Mom's cheater version is to use a pre-made sugar cookie dough flattened into the pan, using lemon or vanilla yogurt for the filling. Yummy!
