It starts with a medley of fresh raspberries, strawberries and black berries tossed with a little bit of pure Maple syrup. The topping consists of pecans, walnuts ( I subbed almonds) dates and a little cinnamon. Put it in the food processor and pulse until you have a coarse grind. Sprinkle over the top of the prepared fruit. The addition of a little freshly grated nutmeg is lovely.
You can prepare this in individual dishes which makes for a nice presentation. It also makes serving easier because you do prepare it all in advance. Everyone enjoys getting an individual dessert and it makes the presentation much prettier.
