Fresh Fruit Gratin from a Cooking Vacation in Provence

Perfect for a summer day or a summer party – as if you need an excuse to make this delectable sweet dish – this fresh fruit gratin is flavored with rosemary, which gives it an intriguing earthy quality.

Gratins are French by tradition, and have a lightly browned crust formed by bread crumbs, cheese, or as in this case, the custardy mixture that is poured over the top. Although a gratin of potatoes is perhaps the most famous type of gratin, you can use this method to prepare many different dishes, including sweet ones!

This recipe features tropical fruits such as pineapple and banana, but you can use different fruit than what is listed – whatever types of fruit you enjoy! We find this recipe pairs wonderfully with some freshly made ice cream, and of course a fine dessert wine.
