This delicious recipe comes from the brand new issues of The 4 Blades Magazine – The Fresh Produce Issue.
I absolutely love cheesecake and I especially love cheesecake when it is the warmer months and using delicious summer fruits. This cheesecake is so incredibly simple to whip up that it has quickly become a regular in my house. You can change the fruit used based on what is on special or what is available. Summer berries such as raspberries, strawberries and blueberries are delicious! Sliced mango and passionfruit is another great combo!

Have you ever found yourself with a mountain of a particular fruit or vegetable when it’s in season? From time to time we’ve been given a whole tray of stone fruit or we’ve had friends that have had a bumper crop of tomatoes. It’s the worst when good food goes bad. So this month we’ve got a whole swag of ideas for all seasons.
